The High School Outreach Program is highly recommended for high school juniors and seniors interested in a S.T.E.M. field or attending Rutgers University.

The Minority Engineering Educational Task is a student-run organization. Our mission is "To increase the number of culturally responsible minority engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community." We have hosted various programs that provide academic, professional, leadership, and social support to minority students studying technical degrees at Rutgers University since 1975. The High School Outreach Program has been a part of our organization's Pre-College Initiative (PCI) Program for over 20 years. The PCI program strives to stimulate pre-collegiate student interest in the S.T.E.M. - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - in response to the lack of minorities pursuing technical degrees.
Each semester, high school students from all over New Jersey and surrounding areas are invited to spend a weekend at Rutgers University School of Engineering to receive a hands-on overview of the benefits of a career in engineering. Students will receive guidance from enrolled college students in various engineering disciplines as information about the collegiate admission and financial aid process. Students will have a better understanding of college life; it's our sincere hope that students will get a sense of their future goals, strengths, and weaknesses. The High School Outreach Program is highly recommended for high school juniors and seniors interested in a S.T.E.M. field or attending Rutgers University.

Be Bold. Be Visionary. Be a Global Scholar.
Global Scholar prepares youth to be visionary leaders and bold changemakers around urgent global challenges. Global Scholar offers a unique curriculum that combines intimate policy seminars with powerful skills training you won’t get anywhere else. This gives Global Scholars the robust knowledge, deep self-awareness, and marketable skills they need to become the successful students, citizens, leaders, change makers, and professionals we need to address our greatest global challenges and build a brighter, more sustainable future. Global Scholars:
Learn about global challenges from the experts:
Global Scholars explore global issues including security, poverty, climate change, refugees, immigration, global health, and human rights through seminars with experts working in government, think tanks, non-profit organizations, academia and more. Over half of our speakers are youth experts leading organizations and movements worldwide. Scholars also meet with embassies and Senate offices.
Participate in cutting-edge Action Lab training workshops
Our signature Action Lab is the only place where young global leaders will build tools for transformative action around issues they care about. Through fast-paced workshops, Scholars explore their identity, build skills to engage, understand, and interact with others; and strengthen their ability to plan and lead change. These skills are put right into practice through daily challenges and small group projects Scholars launch during the program.
Help articulate the unique vision and demands of our generation through the State of Global Youth Report
We are excited to launch the first edition of our State of Global Youth Report this July! Led by youth researchers (and Global Scholar alums) in the US, Pakistan, Mongolia, Syria, Morocco, and Tanzania, the report explores what issues youth care about the most, how they are being involved in addressing them, and skills and supports they need. This summer, all Global Scholars will have the option to help craft the Action Plan, which puts the Report's recommendations into motion for youth leaders, organizations and allies. They'll also have the chance to sign up for the State of Global Youth Report: 2025 team!
Take the next steps towards a career in international affairs
A highlight of the Global Scholar experience is discovering careers, schools and opportunities in international affairs, through career panels, career mapping, and conversations with professionals working in the private, public and nonprofit sectors, as well as representatives from scholarship, fellowship, and study abroad programs. We also tour local universities.
And of course, we have lots of time to explore Washington, D.C. and build inspiring friendships with peers equally motivated to pursue impactful global careers.
Welcome to the AMP Global Youth Family!
Together we are building a movement of powerful global leaders. The Global Scholar experience is one step on that journey. In addition to opportunities like writing the State of Global Youth Report, we offer year-round leadership roles for alums. For example, three are helping with outreach for this summer's programs. Five more are returning as Peer Mentors or Training Fellows this summer. Two are leading our virtual spring workshop series. And all are welcome to join us for monthly coaching and community calls throughout the fall, as well as our winter and summer reunions. Over 100,000 youth have participated in our programs since we were founded by students at Yale after 9/11, and our alumni have gone on to lead student networks; work for international organizations, the UN, the State Department and more; participate in prestigious gap year and language programs; and enroll at top institutions like Harvard, Columbia, Yale and the University of Chicago. Most importantly, they’ve developed a good sense of how they can have an impact on issues they care about, and launched their careers with a firm sense of purpose and strong set of skills to succeed.

Every year thousands of students contact their elected representatives in order to obtain a nomination to one of the prestigious U.S. Service Academies, and many seek additional information about the process.

The High School Outreach Program has been a part of our organization's Pre-College Initiative (PCI) Program for over 20 years. The PCI program strives to stimulate pre-collegiate student interest in the S.T.E.M. - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - in response to the lack of minorities pursuing technical degrees.
Each semester, high school students from all over New Jersey and surrounding areas are invited to spend a weekend at Rutgers University School of Engineering to receive a hands-on overview of the benefits of a career in engineering. Students will receive guidance from enrolled college students in various engineering disciplines as information about the collegiate admission and financial aid process. Students will have a better understanding of college life; it's our sincere hope that students will get a sense of their future goals, strengths, and weaknesses. The High School Outreach Program is highly recommended for high school juniors and seniors interested in a S.T.E.M. field or attending Rutgers University.
