Our Mission & Goals

Our Mission is to assist first-generation college-bound students to enroll in college, earn a 4-year degree, and become a successful professional in the career of their choice. Our goals include improving college entrance test scores, helping students apply to and pay for college, and to stay in college to complete their degree – even after they have completed the Upward Bound Program. We strive to help our students overcome the challenges and barriers that these students typically face when trying to achieve their college and career goals.
