Upward Bound

The mission of the Upward Bound Program at Los Angeles Southwest College is to select and prepare low-income and first-generation high school students in the college's target area for success through secondary education and matriculation onto institutions of higher education. Instruction in core curricular areas, cultural field trips, tutoring, and mentoring are among some of the approaches the Upward Bound Program uses to accomplish its goals.
