Youth discuss postsecondary options and share their experiences at BYSN Higher Ed event

Over 80 youth from various programs within the Boston Youth Service Network came together for a Higher Education event on Wed, Feb 25. They participated in a workshop on Why Higher Education? or Financing Higher Education. A youth-moderated youth panel featured youth who had recently graduated or received their GED to discuss their experiences transitioning into postsecondary opportunities (college, community college, training and work).

There was a rich dialogue among peers as the panel discussed how they decided to go to college, what some of the challenges and opportunities are, and advice they would give their younger self.
