Ways to Help
The Nature of Our Services
This scope of services proposes that Bridge Builders to the New Generation will provide a student outreach college/career readiness program and will support the program by leading the study skills strategies/life skills component. This proposal specifies the services that Bridge Builders to the New Generation (Changing the Narrative Project) will provide within the structured needs. Below are two formats, one specific to behavior and the other to study skills strategies/tutoring.
Services are for:
- High Schools
- Middle Schools
- Elementary Schools
High School
- Academic support (classroom observations, tutoring, homework session)
- College and career readiness (college field trips and career guest speakers)
- Social-emotional support (helping students navigate their emotions in educational settings, giving students coping mechanisms to deal with stress and anxiety, helping students find their purpose and why)
- Restorative justice and meditation circles (helping with resolving issues between students before they turn into a physical altercation, help reduce the number of students getting suspended)
- Truancy assistance (working with the administration in getting students to class, home visits on Friday, workshop with students once a month who have an issue going to class, classroom/student observations)
- Trauma-informed assembly (guest speaker Shamawn Wright will host an assembly that is geared at taking ownership over their life and academics, helping students find their way and purpose, looking at their life through an asset-based lens, and not a deficient-lens, understanding core values and developing their identity, achieving and sustaining success in the classroom and beyond)
