LifeBridge Community Services (a local charity)

The lives of the youth and families served by LifeBridge have been deeply impacted by trauma, poverty, and a lack of educational opportunity.

One in every three children in Bridgeport lives in poverty. Bridgeport is the largest city in the state and the 5th poorest with an unemployment rate of almost 12% compared to less than 6% for Connecticut. By the time a child reaches adulthood they have already experienced two to three trauma-related events in a city where the crime rate is 36% of the State of Connecticut as a whole. Over 11% of youth ages 18-24 have not graduated from high school. Every study shows youth in Bridgeport schools are not meeting standardized performance measures.

Our goal at LifeBridge is to help youth and their families become resilient — to be able to persevere against these odds and be successful. As young people grow into resilient adults, their communities become stronger as a result. As we change the lives of those we serve for the better, we will ultimately change the neighborhoods they live in — and that is lasting impact.
