Upward Bound Curriculum Package

Upward Bound’s goal is to help students overcome class, academic, social, and cultural barriers to higher education. ARISE can help in that mission. Since 1986 ARISE has offered a variety of life-skill lessons for disadvantaged and high-risk youth. These lessons will provide students in the Upward Bound program the foundation they need to achieve in their academic and personal lives. ARISE provides interactive and engaging lessons for use in group settings that are self-contained, straightforward to use, and easy to work into your program. ARISE supplies all the necessary background and a number of interactive projects to make the lessons fun for everyone involved, while educating at-risk youth on serious and useful topics.

ARISE materials cover anger management, effective communication, leadership, substance abuse, health, money management, and many more topics that serve as a practical background to success in life, both academically and personally. Please carefully examine the curriculum ARISE provides and how it might be used in specific Upward Bound programs.
