The TRIO Upward Bound Vision Quest program (UBVQ) serves 135 students in grades 9-12 at Edison, Roosevelt, South, and Wellstone International High Schools in Minneapolis, and Denfeld High School in Duluth. Our program participants are motivated to successfully complete high school and attend college following their high school graduation. The annual Upward Bound Vision Quest Summer Program is a 6-week college-going experience with unique hands-on learning that helps bridge the learning gap from one school year to the next.
