BRIDGES builds a community of leaders to advance
racial, economic, educational and environmental justice.

Right now…

... somewhere in the city of Memphis - there's a high school student who is becoming a leader...a young single mother is admiring her GED diploma and applying for college...a formerly unemployed adult with new skills and confidence is smiling as he or she shows up for work...a child is becoming a peacemaker...a middle-school student with a newfound passion for the environment is convincing his parents to turn off the lights and recycle...a group of co-workers is marveling at what they can accomplish when they work as a team.

For nearly 90 years, BRIDGES has been making a difference in Memphis one life at a time, one bridge at a time. Today BRIDGES serves more than 15,000 youth and adults - individuals who are learning, leading and lifting up our community. And there's a place for you at BRIDGES.
