Bridging Anteaters Mentorship Program
Est. 2014
A student-initiated mentorship from the University of California, Irvine that enthusiastically serves to be resourceful for both high school and college students. Bridging the gap between high school and college step by step.

Our Vision
Our mission is to provide students with the opportunity for self-discovery and transformational leadership with the purpose of understanding their identity in all the spaces they enter. Thus the program empowers student leaders to be active agents of change in their home, school, and community.
Through a series of after school workshops and activities, the program seeks to increase high school and college students' levels of consciousness and provide resources for high school students to pursue higher education. During these workshops, high school students will have the opportunity to connect and receive advice from a UCI undergraduate mentor.
