The Bridge Litany

Greetings! Welcome to a new day!
We are grateful for a new day!
We are alive, awake and enthusiastic!
We are together and life is good.
We are the hope of the future!
What is important to remember today?
I am in charge of my own attitude!
I will keep learning and improving my mind!
I will be a can-do, will try person!
I will respect myself and others!
I will finish what I start!

We are the Bridge and we care about each other
We will always remember that we are not alone

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.
