The Upward Bound Program serves high school students who are low-income, first-generation, or who demonstrate an academic need. We currently partner with East Duplin High School, Wallace-Rose Hill High School, and James Kenan High School to provide support and opportunities for their students.
Our mission is to equip participants with the skills, guidance, and encouragement they need to pursue higher education with confidence. Success is measured when students go on to earn an associate’s or bachelor’s degree, opening doors to greater opportunities for their future.
