Last week, our Upward Bound students kicked off the summer with Orientation! 🎉
Students spent the week getting to know one another through team-building activities, learning about the opportunities and expectations of the Upward Bound program, and building strong connections within their teams. From fun challenges to meaningful conversations, it was amazing to see new friendships begin to form.
To wrap up the week, students gave back to the community by volunteering at Cradles to Crayons, helping support children and families in need. ❤️We’re excited for all the growth, learning, and memories that this summer will bring. Let’s make it a great one!
