Internships
Project Bridge Summer Internships
While many of Project Bridge's adult volunteers focus primarily on eliminating, or at minimizing, the summertime learning loss for struggling students who will be entering or repeating first, second, or third grade, the Interns are dedicated to nurturing each child's social/emotional growth and character/faith development. They are trained and work together to implement the "Love in a Big World" curriculum for a small group of children assigned to them.
