Abstract
A need exists for studies focusing on how college preparatory programs are preparing their participants for community engagement and social activism. Although there are studies regarding the Upward Bound program, no studies were identified that focused specifically on the social justice component of the program. The purpose of this study is to explore community engagement and social activism development in college preparatory programs. This mixed-methods study will incorporate surveys and interviews to explore learning outcomes related to community engagement and social activism.
