Running from January through June each year, this program pairs middle school students with high school Liberty ambassadors, creating a supportive bridge to their new environment. These ambassadors provide personal guidance, sharing insights on what to expect in high school, practical tips, and lessons learned from their own experiences. During the program, students visit Binghamton High School (BHS) to explore the building, observe classes in session, and meet key members of the BHS community, including principals, counselors, teachers, and other staff. They are introduced to club advisors, get a feel for the school’s culture, and learn navigation tips to build their confidence. Personalized one-on-one time with high school Liberty ambassadors allows students to ask questions, receive advice, and feel reassured that they are seen, valued, and supported throughout their high school journey. By fostering connections and providing resources, the LPP Transition Program equips students with the tools they need to start high school with confidence, ensuring a positive and memorable transition. ![330098581\_1116681376395084\_1003537562570288262\_n](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/330098581_1116681376395084_1003537562570288262_n.webp?width=1000&height=750&name=330098581_1116681376395084_1003537562570288262_n.webp) ![431799682\_834348178720812\_3508946661742870981\_n](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/431799682_834348178720812_3508946661742870981_n.webp?width=1000&height=1144&name=431799682_834348178720812_3508946661742870981_n.webp) ![431826109\_834348245387472\_7887742273100286583\_n-1](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/431826109_834348245387472_7887742273100286583_n-1.webp?width=695&height=967&name=431826109_834348245387472_7887742273100286583_n-1.webp) ![431825244\_834348375387459\_8682913199984441295\_n](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/431825244_834348375387459_8682913199984441295_n.webp?width=800&height=1067&name=431825244_834348375387459_8682913199984441295_n.webp) ![431803877\_834348228720807\_6002356726382890434\_n](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/431803877_834348228720807_6002356726382890434_n.webp?width=1000&height=750&name=431803877_834348228720807_6002356726382890434_n.webp) [![Asset 1](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Asset%201.png?width=150&height=142&name=Asset%201.png "Asset 1")](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com) [Who We Are](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/who-we-are) [What We Do](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/what-we-do) [Discover](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/resources) [Alumni](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/binghamton-lpp-alumni) [Blog](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/blog) [Donate](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/support-binghamton-university-liberty-partnership-program) [Contact Us](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/contact) [Partnership Opportunities](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/partners) **Binghamton University Liberty Partnerships Program PO Box 6000 Binghamton, NY 13903 (607) 777.4187** [facebook-f icon](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064369134644) [instagram icon](https://www.instagram.com/bu.libertypartnerships/) Copyright © 2026, Binghamton University Liberty Partnerships | [Privacy Policy](https://www.binghamtonlpp.com/privacy-policy) Designed and managed by [Two Cats Coding.](https://www.twocatscoding.com)
