Bridging the Gap of America is an Outreach Program for the youth and family. Our focus exists to build and develop our youth and families into becoming productive citizens within our community and beyond North Carolina. This will be accomplished by attacking the root of the problem our youth and families are facing head on. Bridging the Gap believes that the root of the problem stems from a breakdown in Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Progression, which directly affects the educational and literacy progression. Through mentoring, tutoring, coaching, counseling and one-on-one attention, our youth and families will be afforded the resources and tools to develop their self-esteem, self-image, education, motivation, and will power to press beyond the demands of their current situations and circumstances.
