Program Updates |
CollegeBound Boost, the new Guaranteed Income Project, is nearing completion of recruiting 1000 CollegeBound families for participation. The project is being implemented in partnership with the University of Michigan and PanAtlantic Research. If you know any families who might qualify, please have them reach out to our team or share the application: www.stpaul.gov/boost
In January, we onboarded 9 new CollegeBound Community Ambassadors to form the third cohort of 29 ambassadors. Our ambassadors come from all over Saint Paul and we are excited that five of our new recruits are parents of CollegeBound kids. This cohort includes artists, organizers, parents, students, educators and speak over seven languages! Our Ambassadors represent the diversity of our community and will help spread the word about CollegeBound Saint Paul. You can learn more about our ambassadors here: https://collegeboundstp.com/getinvolved/ (scroll to ambassadors).

Did you know families who are expecting can pre-register for CollegeBound? Families who pre-register give us their contact info and due date so we can reach out after the baby arrives to make sure their account gets opened. Families can pre-register here: https://preregistration.collegeboundstp.com/
Families who login to the Savings Portal receive a $10 bonus in their child's account and another $50 for doing the CBSP Family Wellness Survey found on the portal. Can you help the families you work with login to the Savings Portal? You can find a helpful guide in 6 different languages on the Savings Portal Registration Page: Savings Portal
