Upward Bound Program

Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. As a mentor of the Upward Bound, I had the opportunity to work with high school students from low-income families; and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree, to achieve the Program's goal of increasing the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.
