In the nation’s capital, an estimated 11 public school students drop out of the system each school day. 

College Bound, Inc. has consistently helped 100% of its high school seniors complete high school and over 95% matriculate at the college of their choice.  

The thought of 11 students dropping out of school daily is unacceptable.

 For this reason, College Bound initiates the 11 Campaign. 

The fundamental purpose of the 11 Campaign is to educate stakeholders about the dropout rate in D.C. 

 It also serves as an opportunity to enlist individuals to support us financially in our life changing work.  

 YOU can join us by making a one-time or recurring monthly donation of $11 or a multiple of11 ($22, $33, $99,etc)

 YES, YOU CAN HELP College Bound continue to empower students to not only graduate from high school but enter college, earn a degree, and achieve their personal and professional goals.

“College Bound.” Every parent, teacher, youth development worker, and guardian deserves the opportunity to speak these words of hope and ambition in reference to the high school student they have invested countless hours into.   But the reality is; we do not always get what we deserve, but that for which we work. College Bound is an organization dedicated to ensuring that the public school students in the Washington D.C. area are equipped with the academic and social tools and resources to one day be College Bound.

 

Emergency Message: Due to inclement weather College Bound's Main Office will be closed Tuesday, February 9, 2010.  Stay tuned here for updates.

News & Events

 

    The President and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted mentors and their mentees from across the country at the White House on December 20, 2010 to highlight the value of mentoring and to mark the 9th Annual National Mentoring Month. The campaign’s goal is to recruit volunteer mentors to help transform the lives of America’s youth. In his remarks Wednesday, the president states –“ There's no doubt about the value of mentoring.  And there's no doubt about the tremendous need for mentors in this country -- with at least 15 million young people in need of a mentor.  What we need now is for committed adults to step forward and help us meet that need.”

    Among the invited individuals was College Bound partner Kiana Moore, an alumna of the College Bound program, Aleeah Sutton, a senior attending Montgomery Blair SHS, as well as Kenneth Ward, College Bound's Executive Director.

 

Happy New Year

    Greetings from College Bound, where another school year is well underway! As the new Executive Director, I am eager to grow College Bound so that we can effectively reach more students throughout the metropolitan area to not only enroll in college but also graduate from college.

     These are just a few of the exciting things that have happened since I’ve taken over the reins at College Bound:

• Awarded over $60,000 in scholarships at our annual End of the Year Celebration.
• Graduated 100% of our class of 2009 from high school.
