The organization’s Bridges program provides assistance to help disabled people receive the services they need from government agencies, nonprofits, and the medical community.
Under the new agreement, social work students at Shaw University will spend 16 hours per week and 240 hours a semester in field work with the Bridges program. Students in the program will interact with nonprofit professionals and the clients they serve.
