3rd Annual HWNT Arlington College Shower 🎓🎉 For three years, HWNT Arlington&#39;s College Shower has sent local students off to college surrounded by community, gifts, consejos (advice), and encouragement from women who know the journey firsthand. Many of our students are first-generation, navigating college without a blueprint, and HWNT ARL closes that gap. This year, our third, we&#39;re celebrating five incredible students, and for the first time, including our young men, who deserve the same investment, support, and belief in their future. We know that support means success, and on August 8th, we invite our members and community supporters to join us as we continue to invest in theirs. By registering, you help us:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Usher these students into adulthood and university life with confidence and community behind them</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Provide practical college supplies and resources</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Connect future leaders with mentors and supporters</li></ul>Your contribution helps ease the financial burden of higher education and empowers the next generation of Latina/o leaders to begin their college journey with a community that believes in their success. Donate today and help us build brighter futures.
