Building Bridges

A Letter and Final Chapter
https://mailchi.mp/ba216fdd5f54/building-bridges-final-chapter
"2022 is simply not how we envisioned or predicted it being. We have felt the strain of burnout and turnover as we and our community partners navigate this “post-covid” reality, and noticeable change in the market. In addition to the continued pressure on schools and young people. The world continued to shift and transform around us, even with thorough planning, and passionate conviction in the Building Bridges way. Knowing this, we wrestled with how we can move forward while asking ourselves the difficult question of moving forward at all. At Building Bridges we live and breathe our mission, but after a thorough internal review we found that the most mission aligned decision would be to close."

Building Bridges has been equipping leaders with the skills they need to drive change for more than 25 years. Based in Denver, Colorado, our work has evolved over time - from our roots in peacemaking abroad to our present focus on racial equity and intersectional liberation here at home. Today, we serve as a transformational leadership development orgniazation supproting a new way of diverse and inclusive leaders with the skills and confidence to advocate and act for social justice.

Our vision is to build a more just and inclusive world by supporting inclusive leaders in finding their voice and developing the skills, relationship, and resilience they need to successfully lead their organizations and communities in anti-racism, equity, and inclusion efforts.

We don't want to be dependent on big funders, foudnations, or corporate donors in order to survive. Instead, we want to maximize the impact of our broad base of grassroots supports to be an interdependent, self-sustaining community. Because of generosity of supports like you, Building Bridges continues to be able to impact youth and adults alike that still seek opportunities to invest meaningfully into their communities.

Help us breakthrough the summer of 2022. The only way out is through. There is still need for conversations to happen. For folks to engage in the long haul, to lean into discomfort, confront the hard stuff. And we are here for it.
