About This Cause
At Burroughs, we operate with the belief that the health of a community can be measured by its ability to develop a shared understanding of its assets, weaknesses and commitment to promoting strong relationships. Burroughs dedicates itself to building a successful community that celebrates diversity, acts inclusively and works intentionally to create opportunities that reduce barriers for all its members to achieve success. Program and Service Approach Serving individual residents, community organization and local service providers in the greater Bridgeport area, Burroughs has spent the last 20 years continually respond to changing needs and partnerships that shape the programs and services offered. Today, Burroughs program and service activities focus primarily on creating opportunities that advance education, civic engagement, employment/ financial readiness, and develop English language skills. By intentionally leveraging existing resources and expertise in our community, Burroughs is able to provide opportunities that bridge far wider resource gaps than could be otherwise addressed. Instead of adding to the growing list of overlapping services and programs, this model delivers higher quality services, is more sustainable, cost effective and responsive to community priorities.
