Calling Our Community!
We’re looking for community members, businesses, organizations, and professionals who would be willing to host an Upward Bound student for a job shadowing experience this November!
As part of their November Challenge Session, our high school seniors will have the opportunity to step into a professional setting, learn more about a career they’re interested in, and experience what a typical day in that field can look like.
We are looking for volunteers throughout Randolph, Barbour, Tucker, Pendleton, and Pocahontas Counties who would be willing to welcome a student for a job shadowing experience.
Whether you work in healthcare, education, business, law, skilled trades, agriculture, communications, technology, public service, or another field, we’d love to hear from you! Students have a wide variety of interests, and we want to help connect them with professionals who can give them a firsthand look at the world of work.
If you or someone you know would be interested in hosting a student, please reach out to us! We would be happy to provide more information about the experience and what would be expected of our community volunteers.
Help us give our students the opportunity to see their future in action! ❤️

As another Upward Bound Bridge Summer comes to a close, it's hard to believe how quickly the weeks have flown by.
What began as a group of students arriving with excitement, nerves, and plenty of questions has become a community of friends, leaders, and future college students. Watching each of you grow in confidence, independence, and resilience has been one of the greatest rewards of this summer.
Together we shared countless memories, from fierce pickleball matches and bowling frames to movie nights, swimming, campus adventures, and our now legendary scavenger duck hunt. Every activity was about more than just having fun; it was an opportunity to build friendships, solve problems, step outside comfort zones, and create memories that will last long after this summer ends.
Most importantly, we watched you challenge yourselves academically, navigate college life, support one another, and prove that you belong here. Each of you leaves this program stronger than when you arrived.
To our Bridge students: We are incredibly proud of everything you accomplished. Your hard work, determination, kindness, and willingness to embrace new experiences made this one of the most successful Bridge summers we've ever had. The future is bright because of young people like you.
While it's always bittersweet to say goodbye, this isn't the end, it's the beginning of your next chapter. Continue to dream big, work hard, ask questions, and never doubt what you're capable of achieving.
Thank you for an unforgettable summer. We can't wait to see where your journey takes you next.
Congratulations, Bridge Class of 2026. Your Upward Bound family will always be cheering you on.
