Empowering First Gen Students for Life Success
About us
Empowering First-Gen Students For Life Success The Collective Success Network (CSN) is a non-profit that supports and empowers low-income, first-generation (LIFG) college students to achieve their academic and career aspirations through empowering mentorship, professional development, and leadership opportunities. We do this by collaborating with the wider business community to create innovative solutions to increase college-to-career success rates and build a socioeconomically diverse talent pipeline. We also aim to neutralize the stigma associated with being low-income or first-generation by guiding students to cultivate the strengths they bring to the table and by providing a safe and inclusive space where our students can be authentic, understood, and celebrated. We also emphasize strengths, such as resilience, grit, resourcefulness, responsibility, and compassion, that students from disadvantaged backgrounds bring to the table. A key aspect of our vision involves empowering students to take leadership roles in guiding and driving our programming and operations. Our steering committee is composed of both college students and professionals. We are also supporting student leaders to build campus chapters at our initial pilot sites: Drexel University (Dragons First), and Temple University (Temple First), and the University of Pennsylvania (Collective Success at Penn). CSN started under the fiscal sponsorship of the Urban Affairs Coalition in Philadelphia in Spring 2017. Leading companies such as Ernst & Young, RSM, Comcast, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, and PECO collaborated with CSN to design, build, and implement pilot programs and provided in-kind contributions. In addition, EY and RSM serve as gold sponsors. Initially, our geographic focus will be the Greater Philadelphia area, understanding that the model we build has potential to be replicated in other cities.

A huge thank you to former CSN Advisory Board Member, Bryant Greene, for generously hosting CSN students and professionals at his beautiful home and farm. Bryant treated CSN students and volunteers to an incredible BBQ and shared a behind-the-scenes tour of his farm, where he provides a loving home for rescue animals, including dogs, alpacas, and horses. His hospitality, along with his valuable life and career advice, made the day truly memorable. FGLI students from Temple, Drexel, and Rowan Universities had the opportunity to connect with their peers and CSN professionals, including founding volunteers Bryant Greene, Ji Jun, and Andrea McCord. It was a day filled with meaningful conversations, team-building exercises, and joyous laughs. We’re grateful to Bryant for opening his home and heart to us, and we look forward to more events like this in the future! #CollectiveSuccessNetwork #FGLI #CommunityBuilding #Gratitude
