Upward Bound TRiO Programs at Baton Rouge Community College

Upward Bound TRiO Programs at Baton Rouge Community College The Upward Bound TRIO Program at BRCC is a place that is laying the foundation that leads to success. We serve students at Capitol High & McKinley High.

Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves: high school students from low-income families; and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's deg

ree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.

Today, BRCC Upward Bound staff kicked the WERK off by volunteering at GEO Prep Academy for Dr. Seuss’s Reading Across America!

We had an amazing time interacting with Kindergarten through 2nd grade students reading, laughing, and celebrating the joy of literacy together. Seeing those bright smiles reminded us why we do what we do!

Building readers. Inspiring leaders. Making an impact one page at a time.

🎉🎉 Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! 🎉🎉

We were honored to join the BRCC DLASC In Session Podcast to highlight the impactful work of the TRIO Programs (EOC & Upward Bound)at BRCC and throughout our surrounding community.

The conversation allowed us to showcase how TRIO continues to bridge gaps, empower students, and create pathways to success…..one story at a time. We are grateful for the opportunity to share our mission and connect with the BRCC community in a meaningful way.
