ourBRIDGE is the only non-faith-based non-profit in the area that provides resources and out-of-school programs specifically designed for immigrant and refugee children and their families.
We are committed to building up a new generation of neighbors in the Charlotte community. To uphold and amplify our impact, we count on community support. Your donations translate into evidence-based programming for hundreds of children and their families each year.
Theory of Change
Our Theory of Change hinges on a simple idea: We believe that the best way to help refugee and immigrant families adapt and thrive is to connect them with culturally responsive, trauma-informed wraparound care and out-of-school programming, all delivered within a loving and diverse community. This approach is the most effective in helping immigrant and refugee children and families adjust to life in the United States and ultimately fulfill their dreams of a better life here.
The Science Behind What We Do
- English Language Acquisition supports positive adjustment to life in the U.S.
- Cultural Pride helps build confidence and is directly connected to more positive outcomes.
- Social-emotional Well-being is critical for families and children to thrive.
We seek to address each of these underlying points through a combination of community engagement, family support, and out-of-school programming.
Why We Need Support
The number of English language learners in the Charlotte area is growing rapidly. In fact, the Queen City currently ranks among the top five fastest-growing immigrant populations in the country.
Our organization is the only non-faith-based nonprofit in the area providing resources and support programs for immigrant and refugee children and their families. We are committed to building up a new generation of neighbors in the Charlotte community. We depend on community support to maintain and grow our impact, allowing us to provide robust programming for those who need it most.
