Founded in 2012 by Mark and Donna Sauer, Bound For College has grown from a grassroots effort at Village Academy into a countywide program now serving 435 students across six high schools—a 38% increase in just the past year. Today, more than 200 alumni have earned college degrees and are advancing in careers, graduate programs, and nursing programs.

More than 90% of our students are first-generation college hopefuls. Through certified teacher-led ACT/SAT preparation, one-on-one guidance, and hands-on support with college applications and financial aid, students who commit to two years of tutoring see an average 20% increase in national percentile rankings.

We are also building the pipeline early through our STEM Accelerator Program for middle and 9th grade students, using robotics to strengthen literacy, math, and coding skills and prepare students for future success.

As demand grows and workforce pathways evolve, Bound For College is expanding partnerships to include vocational, technical, and apprenticeship opportunities that lead directly to stable, well-paying careers.

With your support, we will continue opening doors for Palm Beach County’s motivated youth—creating pathways not just to college, but to lifelong opportunity.
