UC Davis Upward Bound Program in Shasta County

Join us to support the Shasta County Upward Bound Student Enrichment Fund

UC Davis Upward Bound is a federally funded educational program designed to help high school students from low-income families and students whose parents did not attend college gain greater access to higher education opportunities. The program provides academic support throughout the school year, as well as a summer program for eligible students attending participating partner schools.

“Making generational change takes time and repetition. We show them college and career options and allow them to see the future in a different way than they’ve thought of before. And we put our messages into practice by taking them to college campuses and activities so they can see those opportunities for themselves. The parents are very supportive of Upward Bound, and some of them tell us that they never got to do these things when they were kids, so they’re happy to see their kids experience new things.”

Tim Warkentin, Director of Upward Bound Shasta

Gifts to our campaign provide supplemental aid for underrepresented high school students through the purchase of food, school supplies, clothing, and other essential needs.
