Knowledge should travel further.
Useful information often exists already. The difficulty is helping it reach the person who needs it, in a form they can use.
Our purpose
A bridge between knowing and doing.
Darronhold Bridge is a community-services and knowledge-access organization that helps community-serving teams turn complicated information into resources people can understand and use.
Turn complicated information into practical pathways people can use.
Our name describes the work: connecting specialist knowledge with non-specialist audiences, organizations with their communities, and scattered resources with something reusable.
Technology is one part of that work. Accessible knowledge and community capacity are the reason for it.
Built for the people who help other people.
Our partner organizations include:
- Public libraries and community centers
- Adult-learning and workforce-development programs
- Small nonprofits and community-service organizations
- Educational programs, their staff, and volunteers
