I will respect myself and others!
I will finish what I start!
We are the Bridge and we care about each other

National
Recognition:
The
PEW Partnership for Civic Change recognized The Bridge of Northeast
Florida, Inc. as
“national model for solving tough social problems”. The
acknowledgment came upon the completion of a two year research study
titled, “Solutions for America” that yielded amazing results
regarding the positive impact The Bridge has on young lives.
Our Bridge Urban Springfield program (BUS) was the first program in
Jacksonville history to be accredited by the National School-Age Care Alliance (NSACA).
The
Bridge was one of 60 recipients in the United States of the Bank of
America Community Builder Award for its high performance in
strengthening the lives of children and youth in impoverished
neighborhoods.

Who
We Serve: The
Bridge targets communities characterized with low-income households
and neighborhood schools reflecting 75% or higher Free and Reduced
Lunch program participants, 75% or higher rates of
grade level failures, truancies, mobility and delinquent
activity.
Breaking
the cycle of these negative risk factors is no easy task. With
help, The Bridge is able to provide the tools necessary to build the
kind of life we all want for our children and family. Healthy,
Happy, Productive and Loved.
