BRIDGE BUILDERS LEVEL 3

Change

Fellowships

The third level of Bridge Builders trains a select group of highly motivated youth to positively impact their local community. Students grade 8-12 take charge of a community service project centered on topics that are important to them.

Create long-lasting, positive, and powerful change.

Change participants create transformation with innovative ideas and fearless determination. Research projects, neighborhood enhancements, awareness campaigns, and equity initiatives are all fair game for Change participants to have direct and lasting impact on their communities.
