Futures Begin In

OCTOBER 7 - OCTOBER 8

One Click. Two Days. Infinite Possibilities.

Help Students See a Future Beyond Their Current Circumstances

Students experiencing housing instability often face barriers far beyond the classroom — uncertainty, interrupted learning, limited access to resources, and a lack of connection to supportive opportunities. Yet these students also bring resilience, determination, and extraordinary potential.

The Empower U Pathways Expo, hosted by Project Infinity, was created to bridge the gap between possibility and access.

This two-day, statewide virtual event connects Georgia students experiencing homelessness and housing instability directly with:

• Colleges and universities 

• Career and technical education programs 

• Employers and workforce partners 

• Scholarship and support organizations 

• Professionals and mentors committed to student success 

We invite Title IV Institutions to join us in creating meaningful pathways to higher education, career readiness, and long-term stability for some of Georgia’s most deserving students.

Why Participate?

Reach Students Who Need Opportunity Most

The Empower U Pathways Expo provides direct access to students across Georgia who may not otherwise engage with traditional recruitment events. Your institution can become a visible, trusted source of support and opportunity.

Connect Students Directly With Your DPOC

Students and school partners will have the opportunity to connect directly with your institution’s Designated Point of Contact (DPOC) — helping students receive personalized guidance from professionals who understand how to support students experiencing housing instability and unique life challenges.

Demonstrate Commitment to Equity and Access

Participation reflects your institution’s dedication to educational access, student persistence, and community impact — especially for vulnerable student populations.
