The mission of B.A. Bridge is to provide additional support during the difficult years of junior high. The Bridge component is a new and vibrant part of the Barrio Assistance program. Bridge has increased in both its size and its efficiency in the last year. The first year, Bridge worked with fifteen students and was merely an experiment. This year, it has approximately twenty-five students and has been institutionalized within the Barrio Assistance framework.
Bridge is no longer an experiment.
This year, new programming and curriculum have been introduced to further increase the richness of this new component to the Barrio Assistance program.
