What is Bridge Builders® ?
The mission at BRIDGES is to unite and inspire diverse youth to become confident and courageous leaders committed to community transformation. Our summer conference facilitators play an essential role in both developing and inspiring our Bridge Builders® 7th-12th grade youth through the first part of their Bridge Builders® journey –
Summer Leadership Conferences
! Facilitators are paired up to support collaboration skill development and creating learning spaces that encourage youth to step out of their comfort zone. Bridge Builders® summer conference staff desire to serve a diverse population of adolescent youth and to assist in coaching and developing the strengths and skills of youth participants so that their unique assets are recognized and developed.
11th – 12th grade conference sessions are residential and held on the University of Memphis campus.
