First Graduate

First Graduate's mission is to help students become the first in their families to graduate from college, well-prepared to launch careers that are meaningful to them. We seek to level the playing field for students who are immigrants or children of immigrants, who come from challenging economic circumstances, and who are otherwise disadvantaged in the dominant culture. FG provides them with the long-term support that their more well-off peers receive so that they can be competitive high school and college candidates. And, this long-term investment in their education and exposure to career options sets them on a path to build careers, not just jobs. Education is a right, not a privilege, and we work with students from the summer after sixth grade through college graduation (a 12-year journey) to help them attain their degrees and thereby help their families move out of poverty in a single generation.

Circle of Compassion

Circle of Compassion and its project, the Worldwide Prayer Circle for Animals, is a non-denominational circle of people devoted to using action and the power of prayer, meditation, and/or focused thought to liberate all animals from human oppression and exploitation. We believe that, by adding the power of prayer to all the other animal rights work currently being done, this circle of prayers will: •Create an energy field of compassion and caring for all beings of Earth; •hasten the transformation we are seeking for a world at peace; •Strengthen us all for the work ahead; •Elevate global consciousness to the awareness that all life is sacred and interconnected and to the joyful acknowledgement of our kinship with every being; •More intensely awaken within us the ever-loving presence of Divine compassion and mercy. Circle of Compassion honors all traditions -- Our Worldwide Prayer Circle for Animals honors the prayer traditions of all religions and encourages participants to use any form of prayer, meditation, or focused thought that is comfortable. In fact, Circle members who have no particular spiritual beliefs but who believe in the proven power of focused thought are absolutely welcome. There are no requirements to joining the Prayer Circle for Animals other than an interest in helping animals through prayer or focused thought and a willingness to commit to faithfully repeating at least once daily this Prayer for the Animals in a heartfelt mood of thanksgiving for the ongoing manifestation of love and peace on earth. This is our prayer: COMPASSION ENCIRCLES THE EARTH FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE
