Introduction:	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 Lincoln Park site is located in the historic Neighorhood House giving it the opportunity to serve both the North Lincoln and South Lincoln public housing neighborhoods. During the 2014-2015 academic year, the Lincoln Park site registered 140 kindergarten through high school students and served an average of 75 children every day. The Site Director, Educator, and Admin, have a combined 40 years of service with the Bridge Project!
