Dual enrollment is an early college opportunity for high school students who are in an eligible high school class with a qualified high school instructor. Research has shown that participation in an early college program like dual enrollment increases college persistence and retention rates post high school. However, students from underrepresented communities are less likely to take advantage of dual enrollment, losing out on the known benefits that can create generational change. This study aimed to determine how a family workshop at a Title I high school can impact a participant's belief and values in dual enrollment. This was a mixed-methods study, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to gather data. Data sources included a pre-innovation survey, post-innovation survey, summer communication plan survey, post-innovation interviews, and final enrollment data. Ten high school students and 16 parents participated in this study. The results of this study show that an intentional dual enrollment workshop that includes both the students and parents impacts participants' beliefs and values in dual enrollment, impacting their decision to participate in dual enrollment. Additionally, I learned the importance of family involvement and participation, especially in a community that is high in first-generation and low-income.
