Upward Bound has been a true blessing. Since the 8th grade, I’ve been looking for a program that would be an extra hand with my child as she headed toward young adulthood. I was looking for people to help me guide her in the right direction. Upward Bound has been that group. Upward Bound has people that care and are willing to spend their time helping my child with her future. She loves the program.
