Join us for a night supporting and learning more about the mission of Bridges Baltimore!

Bridges was founded in 1993 as a four-week summer enrichment program on the campus of The St. Paul’s Schools in Baltimore County, MD. It initially served 18 elementary school students from a Title I School in northeast Baltimore City. Students were supported by a paid seasonal staff and a handful of high school-aged volunteers from St. Paul’s. Bridges has expanded significantly since that time. 

Today, the three Bridges program locations – Bridges at The St. Paul’s Schools, Bridges at Gilman, and Bridges at Bryn Mawr – work year-round with 360 Baltimore City youth ages 9-23 and engage 227 independent school student volunteers per year. The Bridges program model has evolved to support students for 13 years, beginning from 4th grade on through college and into the start of students’ careers.
