Citi Foundation & LISC: Connecting Americans to Good Jobs and Brighter Financial Futures

In recognition of Citi Foundation’s $10 million commitment to LISC’s Bridges to Career Opportunities (Bridges) program, we are sharing the extraordinary journeys of nine people who now have promising careers and brighter financial futures. Bridges helps chronically unemployed and underemployed adults train for, land, and advance in jobs in local growth industries—sectors such as healthcare, construction, and technology—by helping them overcome the roadblocks to success. The majority of Bridges clients are people of color and women, representing the groups facing the highest systemic obstacles to opportunity in our economy.
