B-Unbound is a way to connect YOU to opportunities both in your community and online. Youth-driven and adult-supported, B-U operates in parallel with schools to give traditional students access to innovative education. What does that mean? You can join B-Unbound in addition to your regular school, and you can explore your interests!

Question 4

How do I use the B-Unbound Real World Learning (RWL) Database?

Accepted Answer

We’ve got a Real World Learning handbook for Navigators HERE!

Question 5

Does the B-Unbound app track my location?

Accepted Answer

The B-Unbound RWL database does not track your location. When you are on the web portal, your IP address is collected the moment you "check in" and the moment you "check out". When you are using the mobile app, B-Unbound pulls the GPS information from your phone at the moment you "check in" and the moment you "check out". Any user can disable location services for any app on their device. The app will still work, but will not report your location when you check in and check out.

Question 6

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

For Navigators, there are native iOS and Android apps.
 
Go HERE to download the iOS app.
Go HERE to download the Android app.

Question 7

What if I don’t see any opportunities I'm interested in?

Accepted Answer

We think that you should pursue opportunities at places that interest you! If you do not see an internship in your B-Unbound Local Partner's database that is interesting to you, you can always suggest an opportunity. In the search results on Android, iOS and Web, there is a "Suggest Opportunity" button. You can search Google, talk to your friends about your interests, talk to your parents, or talk to your neighbors to try to find a Supportive Adult that you would be interested in learning from. Then click the Suggest Opportunity button to add that Supportive Adult. Your Co-Navigator may approve the suggestion.
