Transforming lives… through the power of a job.

Transforming lives… through the power of a job.

We all want to reach our potential in life, which often begins with a meaningful job where our unique talents can shine. For some young people, however, landing that first job can seem difficult or even impossible. That’s why Bridges from School to Work (Bridges) was created in 1989.

Bridges matches the interests and abilities of young people to the needs of employers. Yet the real impact extends far beyond just landing a job. Bridges helps young adults keep and progress on the job. Bridges instills character, builds confidence, and steers young adults toward a future filled with possibilities. In 12 major U.S. cities, Bridges unlocks the potential of young people, transforming lives through the power of a job.
