Description
The Pre-College and Youth Programming Workshop will take place during the Engagement Scholarship Consortium pre-conference sessions. Postsecondary institutions serve a valuable role in communities, not only by educating college students but also by providing a wide range of youth programming and access to universities. This workshop will explore ways in which universities and institutions, through youth programs, have had an impact on pre-college students. This professional development workshop brings the pre-college conversation to a national and international level through continued discussion of new practices in working with pre-college students on college campuses.

- Postsecondary education administrators, faculty, staff, and graduate students;
- Program directors and coordinators (GEAR UP, Upward Bound, TRIO, and like programs);
- Pre-college offices or similar programs within higher education settings;
- K-12 teachers, counselors, and administrators; and
