Program Information

Upward Bound (UB) is a pre-college program funded by the U.S. Department of Education that works to prepare first-generation, low-income, and at-promise* students realize their dreams of pursuing post-secondary education. Upward Bound has been serving the Central Coast for almost two decades. The support of Upward Bound extends beyond the one on one academic advising provided to participants at their high school, as the program seeks to develop participants' professional skills such as resume writing and interview skills. We also aim to provide innovative and experiential trips such as exploring the native sea life on our coasts through kayaking and getting a hands-on experience of the laws of motion while riding a roller coaster! Our goal is to empower our participants to take control of their academics and expose them to new and exciting opportunities with the ultimate goal to prepare them academically and socially for enrollment and completion of post-secondary education.
