The Youth Ministry Program of First United Methodist Church in Downers Grove seeks to provide opportunities to grow in faith, connect with others, and nurture service oriented individuals to live out Christ's love in the world. We provide a number of opportunities for youth in the community.

College Planning Seminar

In this 90-minute workshop, professionals from Kennedy Educational Services and the Illinois Trade Association, offer their knowledge to guide you in your family’s college search, selection and funding. Discover creative new ways for you to fund your children’s education. Understand the importance of applying to the right colleges for your student. Learn how to empower yourself and your student in the college application and selection process.

Here’s what participants have said about these workshops:

–“Very helpful! I learned a lot.”

–“We don’t feel so overwhelmed by this process anymore.”

–“I wish I had known this information before my first child went to college!”

–“I’ve been to other college funding workshops; yours was the most helpful and gave me the most information.”

–“Thank you for helping us get a handle on this!”

–“Informative with no sales pressure.  Thank you!”

Reservations are recommended. Call 630.871.3300 or reserve online at mycollegeplanningteam.com/events.
