Academic Year
Program:
The academic year program provides weekly academic assistance for students
at a site near their own school, thereby developing academic skills and
personal strengths. Once a month, all students participate in a cultural
enrichment activity, which is normally held on a Saturday. Activities
include college visits, academic/career workshops, recreational activities
and a variety of cultural events. |

Summer Academic Program:
The Summer Program is intended to simulate a college living experience for
students in grades 9-12. It
is a six-week residential program on the Iowa Lakes Community College
campus. Students are enrolled in high school level classes, which prepare
them for classes they will be taking in the fall. In the evenings,
students participate in cultural, social and enrichment activities. The
summer culminates with a "Charter Trip" where
students discover what a metropolitan area
has to offer.During the summer,
participants who have graduated from the 12th grade during the spring are
eligible to participate in our "BRIDGE COMPONENT." It is designed to
"bridge" the gap between high school and college and to orient students to
college life while assisting them in their adjustment to college level
coursework. Participants take college courses at Iowa Lakes Community
College. They receive individual tutoring throughout the program. The
college courses are paid for by the Upward Bound Program. This component
gives the Upward Bound student a running start on their college
academics.. |
