\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Bridge Builders Foundation (BBF) is requesting $10,000 in general operating support to sustain and strengthen its educational programs serving youth across Los Angeles. For over two decades, BBF has supported students facing systemic academic and financial barriers by providing consistent mentorship, enrichment, and access to opportunities that promote long-term educational success.
\nBBF serves approximately 1,500 students annually, supporting them from elementary school through postsecondary pathways. Through BBF\u2019s mentorship program, Thriving Under The Influence, students receive ongoing academic support, tutoring, leadership development, and guidance that builds confidence, persistence, and future orientation. BBF also expands access to underrepresented fields through the Dr. Ernest E. Just Youth Science Program, which offers hands-on STEM learning experiences and science camps that expose students to new academic possibilities and diverse role models.
\nIn addition to academic programming, BBF reduces financial barriers to education by providing scholarships and paid leadership opportunities through its Youth Ambassador program, having invested over $1.5 million in scholarships since its founding. General operating support will allow BBF to maintain program staffing, strengthen partnerships with local schools, and respond flexibly to student needs as they arise. This investment ensures BBF can continue delivering consistent, high-quality educational support that empowers students to succeed academically and shape their futures.<\/p>\n
