Calling all Lewiston and Auburn teens! Join us for the next session of our Aspirations Workshop Series. “I Know I Can: College Prep” will be held on Wednesday, April 13th from 4-5 PM in LPL’s 1st floor Jeanne Couture Room.

Maggie Davis, Executive Director at College for ME Androscoggin, will discuss a variety of options for college and how to prepare for them, including how to find colleges; asking the right questions to guidance counselors and college representatives; and how to best utilize FAFSA (Free Application for Financial Student Aid) and FAME (Finance Authority of Maine) as resources.

These workshops are open to all middle and high school students interested in discussing their goals and learning how to access resources to build networks of support. Each workshop will include a presentation and/or activity followed with question and answer period. Workshop presenters will provide handouts for students to keep in resource folders. Free snacks are provided.

This series is co-sponsored by the Bates College Harward Center for Community Partnerships and the Lewiston Public Library, along with the assistance of many community partners that have donated college-related materials and staff time for the workshops.
