Our Mission


The mission of Bridges to the Future is to provide children with opportunities to grow through a safe, engaging and exciting after school learning experience, surrounded with caring, responsible adults and sustained by an involved, contributing community.

 

Our Core Beliefs

 

All children need to feel loved and safe.
After school programming needs to be of high quality, exciting, engaging and based on challenge, project and investigative activities.
Engaging activities help children develop values, social skills, and a life long love of learning.
All children deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
A whole brain approach to education is a child’s right.
Children should have input on their learning.
We are all learners.
Community involvement creates a strong and functional environment for all citizens.

 Lights! Cameras! Action!

Students in the Bridges program at Bunche Elementary in Flint recently experienced the glitz and glamour of being celebrities thanks to their creative talents. After walking the red carpet at the “Created Expressions” event held on Thursday, April 22, each student was greeted by “paparazzi” and their adoring fans.

 

The event featured a display of art projects created by students in the afterschool program, a violin concert, a poetry reading, and a fabulous vocal performance. The event was a family affair and included free family photographs and hors d’oeuvres.
