4 years. 160+ hours. One student who never stopped showing up.
When “Annie” started with Learning Bridge her freshman year, she was navigating a new foster placement, gaps from missed school, and math that wasn’t clicking yet. She also ran cross-country, played soccer, and competed in lacrosse; sports were the one place that felt steady to her.
What she needed was someone who would be her champion for school, and keep showing up to guide her through it all.
Her tutor, Wendy, did exactly that. Week after week, year after year. Algebra, geometry,and every core class in between.
That student who came in struggling with foundational math walked out with a 93 on a geometry exam..then a 100. And this spring…a high school diploma.
Congratulations, Annie. You did the work and we are so proud of you! 🎓
And this is exactly what Learning Bridge is here for - to champion these students to a brighter future. 💫
Feeling extra grateful this National Volunteer Week. Our volunteers show up with patience, joy, and steady encouragement week after week — creating moments our students carry far beyond each session.
To our incredible volunteers: thank you for showing up with your whole hearts. From cheering in the bleachers to writing “thinking‑of‑you” notes to brightening tough days with small kindnesses, you create the steady relationships our students rely on. We’re celebrating you this week and every week.
Thank you for the care you pour into this work and into our kids!
