BridgeYear is a Houston, Texas-based nonprofit focused on connecting underserved youth from low-income communities with education-to-work pathways that lead to economic stability and independence. By partnering with employers, career education programs, and community colleges, the organization helps high school students graduate with a clear route to gainful employment, including roles that do not require a four-year degree. It sits within the education administration programs sector, coordinating efforts between schools and industry to align training with workforce needs. BridgeYear has formed partnerships with several regional employers and foundations, including Phillips 66 Company, Gulf States Toyota, Memorial Hermann, The Friedkin Group, Honeywell, and the Greater Houston Community Foundation, to expand opportunities for participants. In 2026, the organization launched Essential Soft Skills for Success (ES3s) Workshops to better prepare high school seniors for life after graduation, and it participated in events such as the Career Test Drive fair to address Houston’s skilled workforce gaps.
