After participating fully in The Bridge and completing a 4 month commitment, each participant should have...

Participated in an internship for 3+ months and received a positive evaluation by their internship mentor.
Completed an educational goal (of their choice). Typically we look at a university course(s), online course(s), or an 80 hour course or its equivalent.
150 hours of community service, which are earned easily just by being here and participating in program service activities.
Completion of the goals developed in their Master Goal Plan. We encourage students to make these as concrete as possible, but this ends up being a more subjective area (based on individualized goals and needs), even though it’s an essential one. Students complete their own Healthy Lifestyle Plan and Healthy Tech Plan as a part of Base (Orientation) in order to create their own guidelines by which they want to practice living a healthy life.
Successful completion of a leadership role in the Aventura community projects.
A graduation “seed project”, which is a project of the student’s choice on how and to whom they want to give something back before they leave.
Reaching the third phase of the program (Summit), which mainly entails progressing gradually in the completion of the above items.
Compiled a compelling resume based on all of the above activities and accomplishments!
