Eckerd Connects | Project Bridge

Eckerd Connects’ Project Bridge provides transitional services to boys and girls ages 11-21 reintegrating to their home communities from juvenile justice residential commitment programs. Through an innovative collaboration of organizations, Project Bridge provides educational, mentoring, vocational and transportation services to help our young people achieve stable and successful lives and avoid re-entry into the criminal justice system.

Project Bridge was developed in partnership with the State of Florida Department of Juvenile Justice to serve youth in Central and South Florida in 2013.
