BRIDGE BUILDERS is a tuition-free leadership development program for students in grades 6-12. We cultivate strong character and emerging leaders through leadership training, team-building, mentorship, and life skills development. The program offers a safe, supportive environment led by qualified volunteers and mentors, with transportation provided from school to our after-school sites to ensure consistent participation and engagement.
I-Give Program supports the leadership journey of Bridge Builders student volunteers by awarding scholarships to those who demonstrate commitment, service, and personal growth through their involvement in the BRIDGE BUILDERS program. This initiative covers any costs associated with providing scholarships and helps remove financial barriers to further education or personal advancement, recognizing and investing in the future of our youth leaders.
