StrongStart Program Mentor describes her experience

DEF's StrongStart bridge program helps students transition successfully from middle school to high school, empowering them with skills and tools for self-efficacy in decision-making. Held in the summer just before the start of 9th grade, this active, 5-day camp-like experience focuses on building community connections, self-awareness, and leadership through Decision Skills training. Rising seniors help the teacher deliver the course, act as role models, and reduce student anxiety. Madi describes here how much she enjoyed being involved in StrongStart, including arriving to campus early for the day's prep.
