What is Upward Bound?
We are a college and career readiness program based out of Anoka Ramsey Community College. We focus on supporting students whose parents/guardians haven't been to college and students who utilize free or reduced lunch. Students accepted into our program attend our weekly study sessions after school, once a month Saturday field trips & workshops, and a summer program that ends with a 3-6 day summer trip!
