Bridge to Success

Bridge to Success, a program of the National Center for Children and Families, works with local school systems to help thousands of low-income students in the D.C. area get basic essentials they need to get the education they deserve.  For the 2016-2017 school year, FOCUS will continue to serve as the local partner for eligible D.C. charter school students.
