Its leadership team includes Monica Wyatt, Program Manager; Carole Wall, President; Kristy Peloquin, Vice President; Kim Walker, Treasurer; Camille Ip, Secretary; Erin Hudson, Member; and Anayeli Jaimes, Member. Connect for Success launched as a pilot program at Foster Village in August 2020, Learning Bridge launched as a standalone nonprofit in February 2021, and it became a 501c3 organization in June 2021.

Learning Bridge is free to foster care, kinship, and unhoused youth. Anyone at least 20YO that passes a background check and can commit to at least one tutoring session a week may volunteer. The program serves students in K-12th grade in Travis, Hays, Williamson, Bastrop, Caldwell, and Bell counties of Texas.
What families say
“I’m a first grade teacher and I love being able to have the opportunity to use my skills to help kids in need. Through this program I’ve been able to practice my sign language with my foster pair and build a relationship with them. If you have an extra hour to spare a week this is a great, rewarding opportunity to give back!” — Corinne, tutor
“After working with my student for 3 months, he said for the first time, ‘I can read!.’ I was thrilled to hear this and felt I accomplished what I wanted – to close the achievement gap for a child at-risk.” — Christa, tutor
“Meeting with my student has become the highlight of my week. I’m excited to watch her progress throughout the year.” — Kim, Tutor
