The Rhode Island College Upward Bound Program is a federally funded program for rising 10, 11, and 12‑grade college‑bound high school students. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the high school graduation, college‑going, and college graduation rates of program participants.

The Upward Bound Summer Program is hiring part‑time, temporary Mathematics Instructors. Qualified candidates must be able to teach specific high school level mathematics courses in 1 or more of the following:
Algebra I & II, Geometry, College Mathematics, Pre‑Calculus, Statistics, Financial Literacy, or Calculus.

During the summer program, we focus on building a community that has high expectations for academic achievement, personal development, behavior, and student accountability. The students live in a residence hall and are supervised by a team of tutor counselors. They take high school courses in literature and writing, mathematics, science, and may participate in SAT prep, STEM, dance, and foreign language courses.

In addition to these courses, the students participate in recreational, social, cultural activities, and field trips.
