SOCIODRAMA AND PSYCHODRAMA WITH URBAN DISADVANTAGED YOUTH

Abstract

"Upward Bound" is a program developed by the United States government in conjunction with various colleges and universities throughout the country. It is an educational experience used as a tool to motivate urban disadvantaged youth to attend college or some additional training beyond the high school level. As part of the War on Poverty, administered by the federal Office of Economic Opportunity, Upward Bound attempts to involve the youngster's total environment-their homes, communities, schools, and, their biggest deterrent, their own self-confidence.
