The Bridge Program provides university-level education for students who may not otherwise have access.
Each week, Bridge students attend class to begin college, earn up to 15 transferable units of university credit, and study philosophy, literature, art history, writing, and urban studies – all free of charge.
The Bridge Program is an important part of AULA’s commitment to economic justice, providing a jumpstart to higher education for students who may not otherwise have access to college. This comes at a time when access to education has become more difficult than in the past.
Since 1999, nearly 700 students have gathered to continue their education, engage in creative and critical discussion, and ultimately broaden the horizons of possibility for themselves, their families, and their communities.
