Bound for College is a non-profit dedicated to identifying promising students early in their high school years and working closely with them so that they can get into college and succeed.
The goal is to break the cycle of poverty and help students find a productive career path.
Many of the students are first generation Americans and most live in homes where no parent has any college experience.
Bound For College, together with its school partners, assists in guiding and supporting students through every step along their path toward success at college.
In addition to academics, Bound for College emphasizes the development of “soft skills” which help students succeed in life and set a positive example in the community.
The organization partners with three local schools: Atlantic, Village Academy and Boynton Beach High Schools. These schools host the program on their campuses.
The grant pays for tutoring and support services for students.
