Schenectady County Community College

The Women's Fund of the Capital Region hosted its first mentoring workshop at SCCC on Friday, March 1. The eleven women who participated made it an unforgettable afternoon. Many were first generation students and have already made post-graduation plans to continue their education, start their own business, and give back to the community. We had a bee keeper, a great grandmother, a paralegal, a nurse, a chef, a restauranteur, and a social worker, just to name a few. This workshop was open to female students aged 25 years and older.
