Overview

The Atlanta Bridges program began in 1996.  Atlanta Bridges serves in-school and out-of-school young adults ages 17-24.

Bridges staff members, known as Youth Employment Specialists, work with young adults individually and in groups to identify career goals, develop interviewing skills, connect with employers, create a résumé, apply for jobs, get a job, and succeed in a job. Youth Employment Specialists work closely with each young person, providing instruction, guidance, and mentoring that increases confidence, builds character, and enhances professionalism.

Bridges also provides Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) to students ages 14-22. These services include:
• Job Exploration Counseling
• Workplace Readiness Training
• Work-based Learning Experiences
• Self-Advocacy and Peer Mentoring.

School Districts Served
