At Bridges to Community we strive to strengthen communities wherever we work, and we emphasize long-term impact so that communities can continue to benefit from the improvements that we help them achieve. Bridges offers educational support for young people to get an education, trainings for community leaders, construction of classrooms, and support for youth development programs.

While projects like housing and agricultural diversity help improve the current state of community members’ lives, their future growth depends on new opportunities, skills and qualified leaders. Essentially, sustainable community development on a local and global level depends on the abilities of individuals as well as their commitment to help others. Our capacity building programs seek to address these needs.

Program Goals:

  1. To supply communities with a recurrent source of much needed skilled workers and professionals;
  2. To provide individual students with greater economic opportunity through education;
  3. To foster a greater commitment to community service and increase global awareness within local youth;
  4. To increase community ability to administer project and project funds;
  5. To increase local knowledge, skills sets and belief that the people themselves can make change.
