The Bridge the Gap Program actively supports passionate future educators at all levels as they transition from students to citizens. The program supports student interns, and mentor teachers, as they work together to provide the best quality care to our students. The program is aimed at supporting educators beginning their journeys as well as those striving for greatness along the way in their practice. Our program improves the workforce by giving hands-on, relevant, and supported experiences to all involved. The Building Blocks Learning Center's workforce initiative, Bridge the Gap, has created several community pathways to achieve student success. High school students can receive class credit for their time spent under the supervision of our skilled master mentor teachers. These students can also be given the opportunity to receive credit and be paid within our co-op program. For those interns that desire to further their education, Building Blocks Learning Center facilities grant opportunities through the PA TEACH program to assist students in paying for their tuition. In addition to the many high school level opportunities, students that enter higher education at a cooperating school, can work with us to get field credit hours, observation time, or even final student teaching within a well-supported environment. Bridge the Gap is expanding their opportunities by opening up a lab school on the Wilkes University campus where interns can collaborate with mentors to try lessons, lead activities, gain knowledge, and learn from hands-on experiences. The Bridge the Gap Program is a successful community initiative because it elevates and supports all stakeholders involved.

Program Goals and Tasks: Depending on the major of the student, tasks will vary. Overall, the intern is going to complete the internship requirements specifically for their major plus the requirements for their school. Students will assist struggling Downtown businesses and provide 100-150 hours of assistance with marketing and branding, implementation of new business practices, graphic design for promotional materials, develop work plans, conduct business round tables, help with social media, website instruction, etc. Students will primarily work with at-risk businesses, many of which are minority and immigrant owned (over 50%), that had particular difficulty accessing available resources during the pandemic due to language and cultural barriers, a lack of trust of institutions, and a disconnect from traditional financial resources. Through this program, students will not only gain real world, hands-on experience by working with local business owners, but also serve as ambassadors on their prospective campuses to promote Downtown Wilkes-Barre’s businesses to the local student population. Through targeted social media campaigns, digital marketing strategies, and on-campus outreach, the ambassador will work to increase engagement and patronage to local businesses. Program Requirements: Weekly meetings - Schedule pending Minimum of 10 hours a week / 150 hours over the course of the semester Preferred field of study: marketing, communication, advertising, business, event management, hospitality management, graphic design, or a related subject Students will be granted a $500 stipend for participating in the program
