LAUNCH!
Rising Junior and Senior Seminar
LAUNCH! is a unique and FREE opportunity for high school juniors, sophomores, and their parents to gain valuable insights on preparing for college and other post-secondary options. The event features separate sessions for students and parents, each tailored to increase knowledge on navigating the entire college enrollment process, so that students are successfully "launched" towards their goals after high school.
The CollegeBound Foundation works with students in Baltimore City, in conjunction with City Schools, to assist and provide guidance on the college-going process. We are located in various middle and high schools across Baltimore and boast alumni participants like Alicia Wilson, Tracey Durant, and Mayor Brandon Scott.
