Welcome to The BRidge Agency
Empowering Families. Revitalizing Communities. Changing Lives.
Since our founding in May 2017, The BRidge Agency has stood as a beacon of hope and action for communities across East Baton Rouge Parish. Our mission is to implement high-impact, best-practice programs focused on community and economic development, youth leadership and empowerment, and trauma-informed services for low- to moderate-income families.
What began as a grassroots response to the needs of six high-risk zip codes—70802, 70805, 70806, 70807, 70810, and 70812—has grown into a parish-wide movement of change. Through innovative programming, strategic partnerships, and a deep commitment to equity, we address
The root causes of generational poverty, violence, and instability can be addressed by strengthening families from within.
