What Bridge Builders Houston Inc does

Mission

Bridge Builders Houston inspires youth from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and philosophies to become future community leaders through enrichment programs, leadership development training, and service opportunities.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. In July 2024, Bridge Builders Houston welcomed 13 rising juniors from varying socio-economic, ethnic, and philosophical backgrounds to join a week-long, intensive program designed to foster trust, leadership skills, mutual understanding, and acceptance of one's peers. To enhance Bridge Builders Houston's mission of exposing these youths to broader horizons, the program was hosted at the University of Houston. This setting introduced these young students to the lifestyle and opportunities provided by higher education while providing the appropriate boarding and program facilities.
