Young, Gifted, and Bridging the Gap: Project Bridging, Empowering Young Women to Rise

What happens when young women are seen, heard, and believed in? In this Do The Math 247 "Math Talk" podcast episode, we unpack the impact of Project Bridging — a program transforming at-risk young women into confident changemakers through mentorship, identity, and community. Patricia Barbee, Executive Director of Project Bridging and 2025 Girls Scouts of Central Iowa Character Award Recipient, shares the mission behind her program and vision on what's to come. This isn’t just about saving futures — it’s about reimagining them.
