The Cause to Run

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT

The Cause to Run on Sunday, August 3 in San Francisco is a fun and easy way to support World Bridges.

The money raised by the World Bridges Team will help to prepare a generation of leaders with hands on organizing skills and international awareness.

Last year we raised enough money to send 6 participants abroad to volunteer
projects in Kenya, Egypt, Guatemala, Cuba, Mexico & Vietnam. Each one had
an amazing, life-changing experience meeting other young leaders working
for social change.

This year our goal is $15,000! That is enough to pay for 7 of the World Bridges participants to travel and volunteer overseas this summer! Click here to learn more about joining or sponsoring the team!

Meet the 2008 participants!

The Leadership Exchange Program is in full swing this year with 10 new participants. This year’s emerging young leaders were chosen from a large pool of applicants because of their demonstrated commitment to working for social justice in the Bay Area. They are role models for youth in their communities – mentoring young people in the neighborhood, inspiring them through art and journalism, and building coalitions to take action on issues that affect them.
