Bridge Project Administration
See Our Staff Page for Contacts »
The Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) at the University of Denver has programmatic and fiduciary responsibility for the Bridge Project. The Dean of GSSW is responsible for general oversight, while the Bridge Board establishes the project’s overall vision and policy. The Executive Director of Bridge is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the programs with the assistance of a Program Director who is responsible for the project’s outcomes. Three Program Directors are assigned to the South Lincoln, Columbine, and Westwood project sites and are responsible for all program activities at the sites.
Other staff members provide significant support to each program site. Among these are three Administrative Assistants, two Educational Specialists who train volunteer tutors and oversees literacy programs, a Program Coordinator for the bully prevention initiative, a Volunteer Manager who recruits and supports volunteers, a Budget and Operations Manager, and a Development Director responsible for fundraising.
The Bridge Board of Directors and the Emeritus Board play active roles in policy, fundraising, and program decisions. In addition, Master of Social Work graduate interns and a doctoral student from GSSW are involved in program activities and in research and evaluation projects. The Bridge Professor, a faculty member from GSSW, is charged with oversight of research and evaluation activities at Bridge.
