Kaptiv8 Mentoring
Kaptiv8 is a program at Bridge Forward that provides support to community organizations, mentoring youth from Jr. High to College. We partner with groups like the Fresno Flyers Track Club and the Bakersfield (CA) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. to empower young minds and shape a brighter future.

Building For the Future

In the Central Valley, too many students have the curiosity and potential to succeed in technology, but not the access, guidance, or resources to take the next step.
At Bridge Forward Technology’s Technical Training Center, we are launching Kaptiv8, a mentorship and tutoring program designed to close that gap. Kaptiv8 pairs students from Fresno State’s Computer Science Department with middle school and high school students, creating a powerful pipeline of near peer mentorship, academic support, and real world exposure to technology careers.
