Upward Bound is a rigorous, year-round college-preparatory program for high school students. Our mission is to assist low-income, first-generation college bound high school students in the completion of secondary education and prepare them academically and socially for enrollment and completion of higher education. Program participants are provided rigorous academic courses; tutoring services; college-preparatory workshops; career advising and exploration activities; volunteer opportunities; and cultural enrichment. Upward Bound offers services to students through weekday and weekend sessions during the school year and a six-week summer program at Wallace Community College Sparks Campus.
