The CollegeBound Foundation supports Baltimore City students to college and through college. We are a recognized college access leader with a 35-year history. Beginning in middle school, we use drivers to create a post-secondary and college-going culture in students, families, schools, and communities. The VISTA member will help us implement creative ways to connect with programs, partners and parents. This will result in students in the CollegeBound/Early College Awareness program being exposed to unique programming, from haircuts to hip hop architecture, from coding classrooms to culinary, from platforms to playlists and more. The VISTA will support the Director of Early College Awareness and current College Access Program Specialists who work full time in middle and grades 6-12 schools.
