Our MissionClick here to watch the Bridge The Gap video Bridge the Gap (“BTG”) is a non-profit organization created to bring together senior citizens (other elders in the community) and children with the mission to create CONNECTION, COMPASSION, and UNDERSTANDING between generations. Our organization has helped foster relationships between hundreds of school children and residents of assisted living facilities in the community. These participants have an opportunity to enrich each others lives by participating in events throughout the school year and an on-going “pen pal” program. Among other things, the “pen-pal” program provides students opportunities to practice their handwriting skills and for seniors to share their experiences and connect with a friend outside of the retirement home. BTG is based in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area with some board members operating out of Austin, TX and Oklahoma City, OK. Through partnerships with local businesses, Lakewood Elementary, Vickery Towers, and a diverse group of volunteers, we have established the relationships and the organizational foundation for continued growth. Want to know how to get involved or bring this program to your school and community? Contact us at info@bridgethegaponline.org.
