Dig into leadership skills and community issues during engaging activity sessions with your group. We’ll talk about diversity, communication, teamwork, and more. This is your chance to make your voice heard on the issues you care about most, and learn what other Bridge Builders think.
Want to make a positive impact in your community? Now’s your chance! Explore your passions and gain the skills and know-how you need to make real change. Join in on projects that address challenges like blight, education, and other social issues, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a true activist.
Pick your electives based on your passions, be it social justice, local politics, or the arts. Apply today to access unique conversations with city leaders, or discover interactive workshops on music, dance, and art appreciation. Just to name a few!
