Mission & Vision

Community Bridges empowers girls from under-resourced communities to become resilient young women who thrive as students, engaged community members, and confident leaders.

We envision a future where girls are celebrated for their strengths, empowered through equal access to quality education, and equipped to lead with compassion in their communities.

Empowerment: Girls and young women have the tools to  explore  opportunities to actualize their dreams and goals. 

Strengths-based Approach –  Community Bridges’ students and families understand how to leverage their existing strengths for the betterment of themselves and others.

Resourcefulness & Resilience: Barriers are overcome through enterprising strategies  to accomplish goals.

Holistic Approaches: “Whole systems” thinking  brings success to those who recognize  how the world is interconnected.  

Respect & Compassion:  Community Bridges brings respect and compassion to every interaction and fosters a supportive environment in which girls and their families thrive.

Relationships and Trust: Community Bridges builds relationships to create safe spaces for the girls we serve, their families, and communities.

Community-based Approach: Community Bridges leverages connections through networking, building bridges, and active listening to provide a foundation for our girls’ futures.
