The Resource Center program brings together both primary and secondary resource supports in order to empower student participants. The project is a unique initiative that combines education and relationship building for students who lack available financial, personal and support system resources to succeed in college. Its intent is to build collaboration among a variety of community resources to help alleviate the many barriers that prevent students from achieving their educational goals.
