Upward Bound Program The Upward Bound Project (UB) is one of the steps the Tribe and its partners are taking to cultivate an environment that values education and to prepare Ute youth for employment. The creation of an employed, educated workforce will help improve economic conditions on the Reservation, raise the value of education among the Tribe members, and have lasting benefits that will ripple through future generations. Two goals summarize the mission of the Ute UB project: Goal 1: Improve the educational attainment of Utes by providing comprehensive academic/career guidance and services to Ute youth. Goal 2: Increase Ute participation in higher education by raising awareness of postsecondary education options and available assistance. The Ute UB Project takes a holistic approach to addressing the needs of each UB participant, including offering services and activities to Ute students and their families encompassing their education, future employment, and well being. Project offerings fall into three main categories: (1) academic advisement (i.e. education planning and monitoring, course selection, academic assistance, and counseling and skill building enrichment and extracurricular activities); (2) postsecondary education preparation (i.e. higher education advisement, exam preparation, technical assistance, college readiness activities, and college fairs); (3) career guidance (i.e. personal career counseling, career planning workshops, career assessments, work experiences, and career fairs). To provide seamless, comprehensive monitoring of and guidance to UB participants, the UB Counselor to be hired will form counseling teams with the school counselors and counselors from institutions of higher education.
