TMA CCBC: Bridges to Success

The Bridges to Success program, a partnership between the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) and Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS), is a transformative initiative to expand educational access and economic opportunity for low-income students in Baltimore County. The program addresses critical barriers to higher education and career readiness by fostering confidence, building pathways, and introducing students to stackable credential opportunities. By targeting middle school through high school students, as well as adults with some college experience, this initiative seeks to create sustainable, clear, and accessible pathways to academic and career success. Through the support of a TMA AmeriCorps VISTA member, the program will design and implement targeted outreach strategies to increase enrollment and completion rates among low-income students. Key activities include developing and piloting pathway-specific events in collaboration with BCPS, creating resources to promote stackable credentials, and offering co-curricular workshops that prepare students for higher education and in-demand career opportunities. The VISTA member will work closely with CCBC faculty, admissions, and Early College specialists to ensure a seamless transition for students from high school, GED programs, or other entry points into higher education. The program’s long-term goals focus on reducing poverty and economic inequality in Baltimore County by equipping students with the tools, skills, and credentials necessary for meaningful employment and career advancement. By addressing systemic challenges and increasing access to higher education, the program supports both individual and community transformation. Through the creation of sustainable processes and the active involvement of community partners, this initiative will ensure that low-income students not only have access to educational opportunities but also receive the support and guidance needed to thrive.
