Welcome to the National Association of Veterans Upward Bound
Project Personnel Website
The National Association of Veterans Upward Bound Project Personnel
(NAVUBPP) is the professional association for Veterans Up ward Bound
(VUB) staff personnel. Veterans Upward Bound projects, supported by
NAVUBPP are dedicated to fully develop the personal potential of all
U.S. military veterans. VUB Staff and instructors assist veterans by
developing, improving, and extending educational access and
opportunities to eligible veterans through academic needs assessment,
instruction, enrichment, and other academic support activities.
Veterans Upward Bound projects are funded by the U. S. Department of
Education and serve eligible veterans across the nation.
Communication and cooperative effort with schools, communities, agencies
and other organizations at the local, state, regional, and national
level are among the other primary functions of NAVUBPP...which also
seeks to improve services and educational opportunities for veterans by
serving as a forum for exchange of knowledge and ideas. NAVUBPP provides
for continuing professional development of VUB staff members, and serves
as a network of communication for information related to quality
delivery of veterans' services. NAVUBPP also encourages professional
research and publication, as well as cooperative effort with other
organizations committed to serving veterans and addressing veterans' issues.
Fourty-six Veterans Upward Bound projects are currently funded across
the U.S. An annual conference with emphasis on professional development
of individual members and VUB project staff is the highlight activity
each year for the Association.
