For the past ten years, your partnership and support of PCC’s PDX Bridge program has helped create opportunities, connection, and care for countless students across our community. Together, we built something that mattered deeply — not only in the services provided, but in the relationships, trust, and sense of belonging for every student who participated in the program.

It is with both gratitude and sadness that we share that the PDX Bridge program will be ending this year due to the conclusion of available funding. While this chapter is coming to a close, we want to pause and recognize the incredible impact this program has had over the past decade and the essential role each of you has played in that work. Yes this programming, in its tenth year, is unfortunately having to end and will no longer serve students after this spring term.

We also want to acknowledge that this transition brings a real sense of loss. Many of you have invested years of energy, care, and partnership into this work, and we do not take that lightly. We are profoundly thankful for the trust and commitment you shared with PCC and with the students we collectively served. You trusted us with your students and we are thankful for that.

As we move through this transition, our focus remains on supporting current students thoughtfully and helping connect them to ongoing resources and services wherever possible. We are working with our First Year Experience and Future Connect Team to support current students who will be moving into college this coming fall.

Thank you for standing alongside us, beside your students and within our community over these ten years. We are proud of what this partnership accomplished together and deeply appreciative of the community that formed around this work.

With gratitude,
Allison, Rebecca and Josh
