CANERSHIP:
A Community of Mentors, Learners, and Leaders
We are a network of first-generation students, professionals, mentors, and leaders. Most of our members are the first ones in their families to go to college or pursue a professional career in the United States. We know the difficulties and the possibilities that being first-generation brings, and we support each other through mentorship, learning, and leadership. Whether you need
