What is Bridging Milestones?

Bridging Milestones (BriM) is a program that connects youths in two critical milestones: high school and postsecondary.


Designed by youths who themselves are in post secondary (and understand the importance of proactively preparing), the program pairs students in high school with compatible* students in post secondary for ongoing one-on-one* mentorship. These biweekly (2X/month) sessions offer high school youths valuable insight on navigating secondary and post-secondary in all aspects, from academics to extracurriculars to wellness. The sessions also offer an enriching volunteer experience for post secondary mentors.


In addition, the program features four main cohort events for all participants, challenging them to further develop leadership skills and providing a platform to network and grow both personal and professional circles.


 Program goals: 

 

* Compatibility is determined by 1) mentor's current faculty and mentee’s academic interest and 2) similar extracurricular interests.

 

* Biweekly one-on-one sessions do not have a prescribed format. 

 

Note: All cohort meetings will be virtual. One-on-one meetings may be virtual or in person as mutually agreed upon.
