project bridge

The Project Bridge S.T.A.R.S. program aims to reduce the summertime learning loss for rising first, second, and third graders of Henry County, Tennessee by fostering literacy and intentional character development.  We pair each young reader with a caring mentor to strengthen reading skills and build confidence.  We provide engaging, faith-based programming and activities in small groups to strengthen children’s social skills and emotional development. Focusing on the whole child, we utilize music, art, physical activities, gardening, and more.  During a four-week summer program, we develop S.T.A.R.S. (Students Thriving & Achieving Reading Success.) 

Project Bridge is a Christian-based ministry that supports rising first, second, and third-graders of Henry County by bridging the summertime academic gap. We focus on the WHOLE child, addressing social skill development, emotional growth, and literacy. We offer one-on-one reading assistance for struggling readers and programming to develop their social skills and positive attitudes toward reading.
