What an exciting time our GEAR UP students had, attending an overnight visit to Soka, Chapman, and UCR!  They had a chance to attend a college volleyball game and even got invited onto the court so the UCR players could meet them.  They also had a chance to tour the facility and experience the history and traditions of the schools!

We held a special training for GEAR UP ambassadors.  We are so proud of our helpers and all the good work they do for us!

We took all four sites on a college road trip to explore some beautiful campuses.  Check out the pictures from our visit and look at all those excited faces!
