Detail: The Bridge Project is a community outreach initiative of the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. The program was created in 1991 through a collaboration involving community representatives and faculty members at DU. Program activities at the Bridge Project aim to reduce educational barriers and improve academic and behavioral outcomes for children residing in five Denver public housing communities. By being located within the public housing neighborhoods, the Bridge Project removes the issue of transportation many children and families face on a daily basis. The Bridge Project has had a consistent presence in the neighborhoods for 25 years, enabling staff and volunteers to build strong relationships. Bridge is known throughout the public housing communities as a safe space for youth to learn and grow throughout the year. Finally, Bridge has committed to having credentialed educators and social workers at each site to provide the best level of education and support to the children attending each day.The Westwood site serves over 100 participants a day, making it the biggest of the four Bridge Project locations. Westwood is currently the home to the Robotics Program, a STEM initiative in partnership with the Binning Family Foundation. The Site Director and Admin at the Westwood site are both Bridge Project alumnus!
