Transforming minds and launching careers, NewBridge Cleveland inspires, educates and empowers people of all ages with our Adult Jobs Training and our Youth Programs. Our Youth Program for 9th and 10th grade students uses the arts to focus and motivate young people to see a larger world and their place in it, including graduating from high school and entering college. The Adult Program, open to anyone with either a high school diploma or a GED, seeks to move people from poverty to full employment in a career, rather than merely work life path.
