Vacation Bridge Program The Vacation Bridge Program is based on the idea that the continuation of essential learning through the creation of educational programs will build and prepare individuals for the demands of a rapidly changing society. It is our ultimate goal to supply each Bridge student with a learning experience that will make them self-sufficient mentally, physically, socially, and morally. Over five years ago, AME University conceptualized this vision of the Vacation Bridge program. The program prepares and transitions Twelfth-Graders from High School to college through standardized educational courses and life teaching skills. The program provides opportunities for participants to interact with motivational speakers that drive their ambitions for a productive life in society. Also, it intends to instill a sense of community ownership among its participants through the implementation of community service project (s). The program in every cohort invites guest speakers/lecturers from the private sector, government, INGO, educators, Youth Leader/role models with accomplished credentials. Upon successful completion, students will have automatic entry into the university provided all required admission documents are submitted. The program recruits some of the best Liberian youth in the twelfth grade and mentors and develops them towards understanding career options needed in our developing nation.
