BRIDGE was created by Dr. Andrea N. Johnson. A native of Thomasville, NC, Dr. Johnson had a vision of creating an organization that would empower people in her community. Using the skills from her education and work experiences, Dr. Johnson envisioned being able to help individuals access the resources that they need to have productive lives (financial, educational, etc.). BRIDGE continues to fulfill its mission by providing a variety of financial empowerment services including scholarships, seminars on financial literacy and entrepreneurship to the Thomasville community and surrounding areas.
