Through RECA's partnership in Project Bridge, the Gardner-Betts Juvenile Justice Center has expanded its operations from a summer only program to a year-round art enrichment program for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 17 who have violated the law and are on probation.

Project Bridge is an enrichment component of the Travis County Juvenile Probation Department's Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy is a sentencing alternative to the Texas Youth Commission. The art/music enrichment classes are offered to these juvenile offenders on the premise that art is a constructive outlet for emotional conflict, a positive strategy for anger management, and a means to foster self-awareness. Project Bridge is entirely funded by the Real Estate Council of Austin.

More than $45,000 was raised at this year's art auction. The auction featured original art by the juvenile offenders. Proceeds from event sponsorships and the silent art auction are used to purchase materials and pay professional art and music instructors, who instruct juveniles at all levels of the Leadership Academy.
