Meet Our Family Liaisons

College Crusade Family Liaisons are our local representatives in the communities where our students live. Family Liaisons meet together regularly to share ideas and to give feedback to our staff. They provide families of Crusaders with information about our programs, help run our Family Academy workshops, and keep parents informed about the many college-readiness activities that are available to them as members of our organization.

“For many years as a single parent, it was challenging for me to juggle work, school, parenting and still be able to provide my child with the much needed education awareness. The College Crusade of RI came to the rescue by providing college access to families in need of an education outlet. My daughter has been in the program now for five years, and we are grateful for the opportunity of being exposed to many enrichment avenues that prepare her for social and personal development in addition to career and postsecondary preparation.”

Geraldine’s daughter is a Crusader who attends school in Woonsocket.
