Community Questions


Whom does BuildaBridge serve?
Our primary focus is work with vulnerable children and youth and those who serve them?artists; church, youth, and community workers; and educators. Our programs are open to all people regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or ability. Since 2000, BuildaBridge has worked with over 1,000 children and youth.
 
Where does BuildaBridge actually work?
In Philadelphia, BuildaBridge staff takes care of the administrative/office work in our headquarters in Germantown. Currently, all actual programming (art classes, art therapy, life skills training, etc.) takes place IN transitional homes and homeless shelters around the city. Trained and qualified staff and volunteers bring the necessary tools and equipment to the site and hold the class on location. BuildaBridge is in the process of creating a Community Studioon-site at our Germantown location to open up art classes to the community as well as take the children from shelters out of their usual context and provide a safe and controlled environment with adequate tools for art education classes.
