Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Bridges to Success (BTS) Bridges to Success (BTS) is a collaboration of the United Way of Central Indiana and Indianapolis Public Schools and seeks to link schools to social, health and mental health, recreation, and other community organizations which can assist in removing barriers to learning and promote healthy development in children and youth. Originally a pilot project with six schools, BTS uses a site team approach to assess school and community needs and link services and organizations to each school. This evaluation project will provide comprehensive longitudinal studies of several BTS schools. Since one intent of the evaluation is to enhance the capacity of each site team and BTS to evaluate, several years of consultation with BTS has led to the current evaluation efforts.
