BRIDGES and Transition Services
BRIDGES (SPS 18-21 Transition Program)
What does the acronym “BRIDGES” stand for?
Building Real-life Independent Daily Living and Gainful Employment Skills
BRIDGES is designed for young adults with disabilities, ages 18-21, who continue to need special education services once they have completed grades 9 through 12 to meet their unique post-secondary transition goals.
At BRIDGES, students work with highly trained staff at various community-based volunteer sites to develop and hone job, life, and independent living skills to help launch them into a successful and meaningful future.
The vision of the BRIDGES program is a world where young adults with disabilities have the empowerment and skills to be engaged community members. The mission of the BRIDGES program is to provide hands-on learning opportunities that build vocational, social, and independent living skills.
