Our B.R.I.D.G.E.S. program is committed to helping Belmont County families grow strong. This after school program is located at three elementary schools in Belmont County. These schools are Bellaire Elementary School, Bridgeport Elementary School and Anna Marie Ayres Elementary School.
The program serves students in grades kindergarten through fourth grade. The program offers a safe haven for children from the end of the school day until 6:00 p.m. five days a week.
The primary focus of the program is educational and our staff work with children to provide enrichment in core subject areas. Homework help and mentoring are offered on a daily basis and enrichment programs are brought to the sites including cultural activities, health and nutrition programs and character building.
