Upward Bound

Students don’t forget tomorrow we have our Student Leadership Council interest meeting and training tomorrow from 3:30-5:30, all those interested in joining are invite to come out

Man what a summer we had, from the residential portion, to the banquet, and concluding with our trip to Orlando, it was nothing but good vibes and a good time. The summer may be coming to a close but the memories we made will live on for a life time

Congratulations to our former senior and now college freshman for completing the Summer Bridge Program.

The Class of 2026 was the start of the new era in this program and we can’t thank you all enough for all of your hard work and dedication to our program.

What a summer…

It seems like every year something special happens. Not in the sense that these summers are perfect because in life nothing truly is but with mindset and leadership as a focus you train yourself to believe it can be. This summer… was an experience like no other from an emotional perspective. Just about all of us who are in this field tell our students the phrase “don’t miss out on this opportunity” with it being clique because the thought is that this experience will bring you value that a dollar amount can’t possibly compare.

To our old students that weren’t there and to our new students that will be coming. Every moment is one that is to be cherished even in the boring times as well as the exciting ones.

I hope you cherished this summer with us because we absolutely cherish you. Till next time.

Stay Positive

Can I get an AGGIE PRIDE. Yesterday students had a wonderful time touring the illustrious North Carolina A&T State University. Students got to learn all about the campus, learn some state history, and so much more. Can you tell we got a few future Aggies in the crowd 🐶

Dance if you had a good time at the UB residential portion. This summer our students spent 3 weeks at Queens taking classes, having workshops, learning themselves, and growing as young people. Above all else they spent the summer dancing and having a great time and what a time we had. Our journey isn’t over and we can’t wait to continue dancing into bright futures !

Before the Bus Leaves

No large budget.
No long timeline.
Just a group of students, a camera, and a narrative that wouldn’t wait.

We created a film during our Spring Break trip to Kentucky, capturing the miles, laughing, late nights, and calm moments.

Not for fame.
Not for profit.
But AICC has given us so much.

This endeavor is built on sacrifice, faith, and commitment that cannot be taught in a classroom. Every frame contains a piece of ourselves. Every scene reminds us why we started.

Sometimes the most meaningful stories are unplanned...
They occur before the bus leaves.

TRIO Works… let’s show the world how well we works.

Coming Soon

Long overdue but just remember that we still love you.

Congratulations to our outstanding graduates of the class of 2026! We have see each and everyone of you grow and mature from your time within the program. We have not abandoned you and we hope you come back as Tutor Counselors, Doctors, Lawyers, Nurses, Teachers, Business People and much more. Remember us because please believe that we’ll always remember you.

Love ❤️

At AICC we take our students faculty and parents mental health seriously. Before the school year ended our male and female students both had individual sessions to really discuss ways to improve their mental health. They also discovered new ways to help others when they see them down as well.

In the summer curriculum at Queens and as the school year comes back around we look forward to seeing all the changes that were made. If you need help ask and if you don’t need help then look out for those who do. Thank you to all of the professionals that came and facilitated the process.

This weekend TRIO got the chance to give back to our community. UB and ETS students came together to help at the crisis free store by stocking the store and preparing clothes for the store.
