The summer prior to a student's Senior year, he/she must attend the mandatory Senior Leadership Conference. We understand that many opportunities are available to our Senior Bridge Builders® participants but feel that our Senior Conference is an important component of the Bridge Builders® experience. This conference is filled with specifically designed workshops to empower Senior Bridge Builders® participants and provide them with the necessary skills to successfully fulfill their Senior year requirements, which include the leadership of a community needs assessment and project management.
During the senior year, participants work with other senior Bridges members
to plan and implement a school-based community involvement project. Seniors
attend at least three skill-building meetings. The final project is a
short essay reflecting on the impact the program has provided. This essay provides
Bridge Builders® with a wealth of evaluative material on which to base future enhancements
of the Bridge Builders® program. It also gives members a chance to reflect on the knowledge,
experience, and personal growth obtained from the program.
The commitment is great—so are the benefits.
