Every Thursday, Staybridge Suites Greenville I-85 Woodruff Road hosts the Building Bridges program, warmly welcoming students with special needs from Woodmont High School. This program offers them the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, develop essential soft skills, and enhance their independent living abilities. Some graduates of the program have successfully secured real jobs and, remarkably, still choose to come back to the team on Thursdays, demonstrating the enduring impact of this initiative.
