Project Bridge volunteers are crucial to the success of Project Bridge.
In 2025, over 60 adult and teen volunteers helped in some way to create/offer a beneficial program for thirty children in the first, second, and third grade. The volunteers worked diligently to build relationships with the children as we worked together minimize the typical summertime learning loss and help each student thrive and achieve reading success.
