Today ends the fiscal year for Bridges. Within the past year, we've experienced significant loss in federal support, which impacts Memphis youth tremendously.

Bridges is a program that encourages the youth of Memphis to expand their life knowledge, develop leadership skills, and create lifelong connections.

We need your support to ensure that we can provide them with these tools for another 30+ years.

We loved joining the Business in Blue podcast, U of M Fogelman, with Bridge Builder alum to talk about the impact of BRIDGES and the work happening every day to empower young people across Memphis. The mission has always been bigger than one program. It’s about shaping the future of our city through its youth.

Thank you to the Business in Blue team for spotlighting the heart behind BRIDGES and the students who make this work so meaningful.
