Mission Statement
Based in Charlotte, NC our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, respectful environment for refugee and immigrant students and their families. A place where they can adjust to a new culture, perfect the English language and get the support they need to succeed at school and in life.
Description
ourBRIDGE’s purpose is, through education, foster a sense of respect, awareness, understanding, and acceptance of all cultures, backgrounds and beliefs, among the communities it serves.
ourBRIDGE envisions a community where refugee and immigrant children won’t fall behind academically because of a lack of resources, encouragement, and English language skills. A community full of independent, confident children who have the tools to make for themselves a bright future. A place where communication between schools and families won’t be hindered by failure to communicate.
