Team College Bound

Empower families and elevate futures.

Team College Bound broadens college access for first-generation and underserved students by supporting their primary influencers—their families. Through Team College Bound, a five-lesson curriculum, families are connected to resources and information on college going, strengthening their confidence and highlighting the unique strengths and experiences they bring to help their student be successful through. The program emphasizes affordable pathways to higher education, making college more accessible for all.

Help bridge the digital divide.

Many families who participate in Team College Bound have never been to college and view the cost of college as the greatest barrier to supporting their child’s postsecondary pursuit. In addition, in this digital age, lack of access to technology can have huge impacts on college enrollment and retention. In an effort to close the digital divide and boost college access, Team College Bound identified laptops as an essential incentive and benefit to completing the program. By bridging the digital divide and easing financial burdens, we aim to empower students to reach their full potential through the transformative power of a college education. Team College Bound is striving to support enrollment, retention, and educational attainment of all students through community-based pre-college pathways.

Connect students to opportunity.

We invite you to join us in supporting families through Team College Bound by contributing to our FACTS Family Access, Communication, Transition and Support fund, which will allow us to purchase laptops to directly support our next cohorts of families for Spring 2027.

Thank you for your axe of kindness!
