Our Mission

World Bridges fosters international cooperation between young people of color from low-income backgrounds, and provides them with opportunities to gain global perspectives on the social justice issues that impact their lives. Through participatory training and community-based projects in both the U.S. and abroad, we engage emerging leaders in diverse strategies for effecting social change.  Click here for more photos!
