We are thrilled to welcome Brian O'Kelly as a new member of the Board of Directors. He learned of Peninsula Bridge when he was researching youth organizations for DPR Foundation, the philanthropic arm of DPR Construction. Brian encouraged us to apply, we received funding, and along the way we discovered Brian's passion and commitment to local youth. In short, Brian expressed his interest in getting more involved with Peninsula Bridge, impressed our leadership team and is now a new member of our Board. Since joining our organization Brian has:
- Facilitated a Career Day at DPR for our students
- Created a curriculum for a "Bridge Building" class and assembled volunteers from DPR Construction to teach it to our rising 8th grade students at two sites
- Begun planning for a potential follow up field trip for students to view a newly constructed bridge in the Bay Area
