The Bridge Project is a project to help the economically disadvantaged to escape the cycle of poverty they are trapped in. The project is based on the belief that five basic factors are at the core of the cycle of poverty, and if these five factors can be changed it will lead to a new life economically, and relationally, for these families.
1. Education is the foundation upon becoming marketable. Without education a family cannot escape the cycle.
2. Language Communicating in the English language is the key to fully understanding and applying the changes needed to make one's environment better.
3. Life skills The effective use of financial, personal, and relational life skills increases opportunities for personal development and growth.
4. Affordable Housing provides the personal living environment conducive to self development and security.
The Bridge Project is dedicated to providing resources that address each of these areas of need, and partners with other non-profits and churches to accomplish this goal. Current partners are:
Discovery Counseling Center responsible for life and language skills South County Housing responsible for affordable housing Morgan Hill Bible Church and Christ Our King Lutheran Church responsible for education
Additionally, a research project studying the effects of the Bridge Project is sponsored by Santa Clara University and being conducted by Dr. Cheryl McElvain.
