Summer Bridge 2024

The SUMMER BRIDGE event, first introduced in 2021, is part of our mentoring program and has as its goal countering the effects of “Summer Melt” -- an apt descriptor for the fact that many students who are accepted into college or trade school, never actually enroll. Research has shown that nearly 40% of low- income students are impacted by “summer melt”. Our students – both those new to the post-secondary experience as well as those who are transitioning to their 2nd through 4th years -- are included in the Summer Bridge program.
