Help Your Rural Teen Find a Path That Fits Their Community and Goals

Students from rural areas and small-town communities bring unique strengths, goals, and experiences to college and career planning, but they may not always see the full range of options available to them. Join BigFuture® and the STARS College Network for a conversation about how parents can help rural teens explore pathways that fit their interests, circumstances, values, and future goals. We’ll discuss how to broaden the search beyond familiar options, evaluate college options, and connect students to trusted guidance and support. Parents will leave with practical strategies to help their teens see what’s possible and make decisions that feel right for them.
