First-Gentorship
Our mentorship program, First-Gentorship, is First To Go's initiative to promote the growth and further the support of UCLA's first-generation undergraduate and graduate students. The program runs throughout the academic school year, consisting of events and activities for both mentees and mentors to interact.
As a mentor, students get the opportunity to give back to their community by fostering the growth of students following in their footsteps.
