Who We Are

ABOUT US

Since 2012, A Bridge for Kids has offered sponsorships to bright and driven low-income teens in San Diego County. We dedicate our time, resources, and money to getting our students into the school of their dreams. All of our students are more than qualified but lack the financial resources required to unlock their full potential. At A Bridge for Kids, we help our students break through the glass ceiling by providing them with a vast variety of opportunities and experiences such as college campus tours, financial alleviation, college essay writing, SAT/ACT preparatory classes, tutoring, internships, and much more! 

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to build a bridge between teenagers who aspire to attend college and are in need of educational & financial assistance and those who can provide these resources. In doing so, we strive to make lasting improvements in the lives of young people and the society in which they live.

OUR VISION

To be a forward thinking, financially solid, and self-sustaining organization that drastically impacts the lives of teenagers. We are constantly putting together new programs in order to adapt to the changing needs of our students, allowing each and every young teen to pursue their dreams and aspirations, regardless of their economic situation. We are committed to helping young people in need succeed!

THE STUDENT

We find intelligent, committed, and driven teens in San Diego County who aspire to advance their lives, but are restrained from their full potential by a lack of financial resources.

THE SPONSOR

We actively identify people who would like to impact the lives of teenagers in need. We then bring the sponsor and student together, ensuring all resources are being allocated effectively, and oversee each relationship to a successful conclusion.

THE RESULTS

We are proud to say that we have a 100% success rate of our students getting into the college of their dreams. After the sponsorship ends, we individually review each case and strive to make the next one even better.


“My mentor has helped me, in many ways than I imagined. Academically and personally, my mentor helped guide me through tough times and good times. She was able to provide me with words of wisdom that I will carry with me, forever. These are what I value most in life: great conversations and impactful encounters. My mentor helped fulfill both of them.”  
 
Christina, The Preuss School – Class of 2017

Helping young people in need... succeed!

Testimonial

"A Bridge for Kids has never been forgotten in my heart and in my current journey to medical school. My experience in High School was enhanced for the better because I was able to go on college trips on the west coast, buy my own laptop so I could stop sharing the family desktop, and even a printer so I wouldn’t have to miss breakfast to print at the school library. I became less stressed and learned to manage my time better than before. I am so thankful to A Bridge for Kids for helping me get to where I am now and where I am headed in the future. Thank you with all my heart!"
