Who We Partner With
Our partnerships span diverse sectors, creating a comprehensive ecosystem of support. Each partner brings unique strengths to our collaborative mission of expanding opportunity and building sustainable pathways to success.
Education & Workforce Boards
We collaborate with Departments of Education, community colleges, and Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs to develop relevant curricula that prepare learners for in-demand careers. These partnerships ensure our training aligns with industry needs and educational standards.
Employers
Our employer partners include healthcare systems, trades, IT companies, and logistics organizations committed to inclusive hiring practices. These partnerships create direct employment pathways and help shape training programs that meet real workforce demands.
Corrections & Reentry
We work closely with Departments of Corrections, reentry coordinators, and Second Chance programs to ensure returning citizens have access to education, training, and employment opportunities that reduce recidivism and promote successful reintegration.
Community Services
Our community partners provide essential wraparound supports including housing assistance, childcare services, mental health resources, and transportation solutions. These services remove barriers that might otherwise prevent learners from succeeding in education and employment.
Funders & Foundations
Public and private grantmakers, along with philanthropic investors, provide the financial resources that fuel our work. These funding partnerships enable program sustainability, innovation, and growth to reach more communities in need.
Our Partnership Models
At Stellar Bridges, we believe in flexible, responsive partnership structures that maximize impact while respecting each organization's unique strengths and constraints. Our collaborative approaches create sustainable systems change rather than short-term fixes.

Collaborative Programs
