Why We Do It
Building Bridges’ work is emblematic of the bringing people together.
At Building Bridges, we are driven by a profound commitment to bridging communities and building opportunities for all.
We believe in removing barriers that have historically hindered East of the River residents from attaining a fair shot at prosperity. Our mission is not only about breaking down those obstacles but also celebrating and amplifying the vibrant culture that thrives East of the River.
Moreover, we are dedicated to promoting unity among residents across all eight wards of our city, with a keen focus on stitching wards 7 and 8 to the rest of the city’s fabric. Through our work, we aim to foster an inclusive and prosperous community that embraces diversity, equity, and a shared vision of a brighter future for all.
