Virtual Product Drive: College Success Kits!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: United Way of Greater Cincinnati

For first-generation college students from under resourced families, the challenges extend beyond paying for books, tuition and fees. Such students may be uncertain about how to navigate the system. They may doubt whether they can be successful. They need support that differs from that of students whose parents have earned a degree.

We need volunteers to donate dorm room essentials and other items - ranging from desk and school supplies to toiletries and cleaning products - to help us provide College Success Kits for first-generation students in Northern Kentucky.

Sign-up, and you will receive a direct link to our Amazon Registry to purchase items that will be assembled into kits on June 16. To learn more about the assembly event, click here: https://uwgc.volunteermatch.org/search/opp3369679.jsp

College Success Kits will be distributed to 136 Northern Kentucky students for the 2021-22 school year. Kit recipients will be identified by Northern Kentucky school districts and these community agencies: Covington Partners; NaviGo; Esperanza Latino Center of NKY; and Education, Empowerment and Respect (EER).
