Britepath, LLC is an alternative, gap year program for college aged young adults who maybe struggling with academic challenges or feel like they are bored and restless, not knowing where they fit in or are searching for their place in the world. This program is not for those needing constant monitoring, but for those who have willingness to explore new ways of developing their own personal growth.
Bradley Midgett is one of the co-founders of Britepath, who initially started working with struggling teens as a wilderness guide. He then went on to earn two graduate degrees: Clinical Social Work and Intercultural Youth and Family Development. He has had his own private practice and ran his first international trip with young adults in 2001. Britepath's other co-founder and Director of Academics is David Nichols, who previous to opening this program, worked as a consultant and human resource professional. He then went on to join the Leadership School, as a teacher and found his new passion. David has worked for a private boarding school for at-risk teens; as a private practice tutor and college admission coach and is a graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). Rounding out this small programs team is Aida Hutz-Midgett, EdD who is the Academic Consultant. Aida is an assistant professor at Boise State University in the Counselor Education Department. Dr. Hutz was recently recognized at the 2011 Idaho Counseling Association Conference and was awarded the Volunteer Service Wing Award for leading by example.
This experiential program focuses on four areas of learning for the students: Interdependent living, Academics and Vocation, Exploration and Community integration. Students live in apartments with other students close to the university and public transportation, gaining necessary life skills and experiences. Students may enroll in courses during their semesters or gain vocational skills with the bustling town of Boise. International travel to Latin America is available twice a semester, where students contribute to those living in communities of underprivileged and learn that they can create positive change in the world, while also building self confidence and creating new and different types of relationships.
