To level the playing field, BRIDGEGOOD provides BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students with tuition-free design education, equitable tech access, mentorship with working professionals, and career-building resources.
2019 celebrated 10 years of community impact - Oakland Digital Arts & Literacy Center and BRIDGEGOOD are now one. This is more than a rebrand. We are unlocking unlimited possibilities for creative job seekers.
BRIDGEGOOD is a culmination of hopes, dreams, and economic opportunity. In 2009, our first dream started with $300 and the commitment to help increase digital literacy across Oakland.
In 10 years, BRIDGEGOOD directly impacted the lives of 6,500 students, entrepreneurs, and organizations. Our programs boosted the economy by $5.8 million, leading to opportunities for 21st century employment and economic mobility. Over a decade of refining that dream, we've found our deepest impact is advancing design for social good and providing avenues for sustainable tech careers for Creatives.
