Our 2021-22 Impact Report
BridgeYear’s 2021-2022 Impact Report celebrates a year of great change, uncertainty, and growth. As we look back on the dramatic disruptions to education and overall economic uncertainty, BridgeYear focused on those opportunities that do not require a four-year degree.
From launching MorePathways (a BridgeYear website) to expanding our advising services with more holistic support, this report showcases our learnings and the impact they had on the community. Join us on this journey of impact as we work together to provide long-lasting opportunities for young people in our greater Houston community.
