About BridgeBuilders
The last two decades BridgeBuilders has helped to connect people from different backgrounds to promote a shared understanding of the challenges facing inner-city communities. Those from an outside context typically hear and see mostly negative portrayals of the inner city, often contributing to unhelpful labeling and misguided interactions. We believe the giftedness of the community is more clearly seen through fostering healthy, meaningful experiences that combine learning with active engagement.

"While working with BridgeBuilders, I learned a lot. I learned how to be a better leader, how to graciously educate people, and how to address the needs of the local community. BridgeBuilders is such an amazing program. "
