OUR PROJECTS

Empathy and compassion begin when we see the people behind the numbers. With over 120 million forcibly displaced worldwide—half of them children—their stories deserve to be heard. Beyond the Statistics shares the personal journey’s of forcibly displaced Ukrainian families arriving in Philadelphia with classrooms and campuses, inspiring action and compassion beyond the headlines. Our humble film highlights the power of an individual idea, support from community, students engagement and the courage of the Ukrainian people. We believe in the power of storytelling and film to cultivate empathy and compassion in our next generations of global citizens.

Bridges 2030 and TEEEM, both registered nonprofits, are empowering middle school, high school and university students through hands-on, empathy-driven projects that spark leadership, curiosity, and action. Student led teams engage in the development of a social impact project to support communities in need worldwide. Bridges/TEEEM provide free resources, coaching and an initial small grant to launch initiatives. Investing in young changemakers today builds a future of mindful, service-driven leaders. Contact Bridges 2030 to set up a meeting or consultation.

Bridges 2030 initially raised $7,500 to support newly arrived Ukrainian refugees in Philadelphia and has since expanded efforts to aid arriving families, provide generators, and bring joy to displaced children. Our Christmas Gift Drive is supported by several university and high school students, kind individuals and corporate donations allowing us to deliver smiles and some joy to children in Ukraine impacted by the war.

Each holiday season, Bridges 2030 partners with Congreso de Latinos Unidos, a Philadelphia based nonprofit assisting Latino communities, to provide gifts for children under 10, bringing joy and relief to families. Our efforts are supported by donations from kind families, corporate contributions and friends & family. Individual actions having collective impact. Help us continue this tradition—donate today.
