Juan Osorio, a dedicated freshman from the University of Florida, joins Education Equalizer (EEF) with a profound understanding of the challenges faced by first-generation college students. He shares, “My name is Juan Osorio, and I am a freshman at the University of Florida! I decided to intern for EEF because, as a first-generation college student, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate the college admission process or even transition into college courses without your parents’ help.”

In a transformative event hosted by the Mu Upsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, Dr. Carjie Scott, Founder of The Education Equalizer Foundation, delivered a compelling talk on college preparedness to 16 youth participants in the Youth Leadership Institute (YLI).
