The BuildaBridge Motto is part of the BuildaBridge Classroom(sm) model used in all our after-school programming in both Philadelphia's transitional homes and alliance programs; as well as, our international Arts for Hope catalytic camps. The model is based on structure and ritual and is trauma-informed, hope-infused, and child-centered. Internationally, organizations contextualize the model based on the local culture and language. In this video, teaching artists and children from one of our after-school programs in Philadelphia share the motto.

Consider supporting our mission through a donation to BuildaBridge's Painting a Brighter Future/3:30 Campaign.
