#TBT to last week's virtual end of the year celebration. There were smiles all around! While this year certainly ended differently than how we planned. It's been a joy to adjust and continue to support our youth. Thank you to our programming staff for stepping up!
4,000 hours with nearly 300 Bridge youth. Our interns go above and beyond for Bridge Project youth for the school year. Thank you, interns, for supporting and making each day special for our youth. #virtualappreciation#internships
The show must go on! Our Tech Team members are working hard on their virtual elevator pitch for the @BinningFdn annual Elevator pitch contest. The top 10 will then go on to present their pitches in June to compete for scholarship prize money. #virtualcontest
#TutoringTuesday Can you guess a six-letter word that has the letters E, X, O, and T in it? Our tutors are virtually connecting with tutees, and here our tutee, Holly, is playing hangman with her tutor.
Our youth are getting creative and crafty at home! As part of Bridge Project programming, our Columbine site did an #artathomechallenge. Each participant grabbed whatever they had at the house to paint, draw or color. Look how great they turned out!
Wednesday #seniorspotlight is here! Howa, from the Bridge Project's Westwood site, has been accepted into 6 universities this fall. We are feeling very proud of our long time Tech Team member. Any positive tips for Howa as she enters freshmen year? #class2020
The Bridge Project is starting to get the hang of #virtualprogramming! Each day, our Columbine site offers a fun activity to keep youth moving and engaged. Here the youth are doing #virtualyoga and a #virtualworkout class. We also provide homework help and tutoring.
Midweek #seniorspotlight, #Classof2020
Hooray! Mubarak has been accepted to UCS San Diego. The big question is, will he decide to head to the West coast? Currently, he is leaving all options on the table until he knows which university awards him the most scholarships. #SoProud
