Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
ourBRIDGE is dedicated to supporting the education, acculturation, and well-being of immigrant and refugee children and their families as they adjust to a new life in the United States. We provide high-quality afterschool and summer programming that centers English language acquisition, socio-emotional well-being, and cultural appreciation through experiential, hands-on learning designed specifically for English Language Learners (ELL). All programs are healing-centered and culturally responsive.During the 20242025 program year we welcomed over 250 children in grades K8 representing over 20 countries. Over 80% of our staff identify as BIPOC, refugee, immigrant, or first-generation American, ensuring culturally affirming programming and trusted relationships with families. We provided daily transportation, translation services as needed, and full hot dinners and snacks that were culturally responsive, including halal and vegetarian options.Attendance across programs exceeded 80%, with a
Activities or mission (Part I)
ourBRIDGE for KIDS focuses on children of immigrant and refugee families, helping them achieve academic success and integration into the community through innovative instructional methods and an embracement of cultural diversity.
-
In 20242025, ourBRIDGE welcomed 150 returning students at our East site, marking our 12th year of operation, and 100 students at Pinewood Elementary in our fourth year at that location. Our curriculum, developed in-house, supports newly arrived immigrant and refugee children through English acquisition, socio-emotional development, and cultural pride. Attendance goals of 80% were met at both sites. Teachers reported that 97% of students improved literacy and class participation, 95% improved classroom behavior, and 90% improved homework completion. Additionally, 85% of teachers reported that ourBRIDGE is beneficial to both students and their families.An external evaluation conducted by UNC Charlotte found that students scored an average of 3.8 out of 4 in response to the question, Does ourBRIDGE remind you of the country you and your family are from? The evaluation also found that parents experienced increased self-efficacy, a greater sense of control over their lives, and a stronger sense of belonging, with families describing ourBRIDGE as instrumental in improving their quality of life and maintaining hope for the future.In 2025, ourBRIDGEs Family Support Team managed a caseload of over 350 newly arrived immigrant families through wraparound services addressing healthcare access, academic support, English acquisition, legal resources, and food insecurity. In the most urgent cases, emergency assistance enabled nearly 102 families to remain housed and avoid eviction. Additionally we supported thousands of families addressing food insecurity through grocery and household distribution. Our Community Engagement team maintained over 90 active partnerships with mission-aligned organizations and hosted or co-hosted over 30 community events/workshops. This included our largest International Fall Festival to date, which welcomed over 2,000 attendees, representing cultures from around the world.
