Summary View help for Summary
The Bridges to Pathways (Bridges) program was a violence prevention program in Chicago serving young men between the ages of 17 and 21 years old who were involved with the criminal or juvenile justice system and lacked a high school credential. This program was one of several evaluated as part of the Subsidized and Transitional Employment Demonstration (STED) project. The Bridges program was launched in 2013, and aimed to improve the outcomes of young adults at high risk of violence. The program was developed by the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) and operated by two community-based organizations: Central States SER and SGA Youth and Family Services. The six-month program included four components: academic enrichment, social-emotional learning, workforce readiness, and intensive mentoring and case management.
