    Enriching the Lives of Children in Foster Care Since 1999

    Each year, there are over 1400 children in the foster care system in Southwest Washington (Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania counties). BTG provides early access to tutoring, therapy, enrichment camps, and activities, as well as other needed resources such as clothing, and more. This supports abused and neglected children in foster care to have the opportunity to thrive.

    WHAT DOES BTG DO?
  • OUR MISSION

    Bridge the Gap is a community outreach program designed to enrich the lives of abused and neglected children in Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania counties in SW Washington.

    Bridge the Gap provides resources to enhance the stability, growth, and success of children in foster care.

    Our vision is to give every child a childhood.
