OurBridge for Kids

OurBridge for Kids At ourBRIDGE, students receive homework help, engage in a culturally relevant curriculum that is developed in-house and emphasizes hands-on learning.

ourBRIDGE is a Charlotte-based organization that fosters the education, acculturation, and well-being of refugee and immigrant families through out-of-school programs and comprehensive, culturally-responsive wraparound support to hundreds of families ourBRIDGE for KIDS is the only non-faith based organization in Charlotte and surrounding areas that attends to the academic and socio-emotional needs

of refugee and immigrant children and their families. Our afterschool and summer programs are based on our four core values of LERD (Love, Education, Respect, and Diversity), and support ELL (English Language Learners) students as they adjust to their new home in the United States. Our students and their families are a part of a welcoming, loving, and healing-centered community that places an importance on their cultural identity. Our programs have been shaped by and for our community. We work alongside Charlotte immigrant and refugee neighbors to offer community-centered out-of-school programs. Socio-emotional Development

ourBRIDGE offers a developmentally responsive environment that embraces the diverse needs of each student and family. Using a child-centered and trauma-informed approach to care, ourBRIDGE recognizes that immigrant and refugee children have an array of experiences that impact their development. At ourBRIDGE, we honor our communities innate resilience. We create a supportive and loving learning environment that promotes children’s innate resilience and their capacity to overcome trauma and toxic stress.

Our East Bridge Kids had the opportunity to visit the Charlotte Fire Department, where they explored the station, learned about fire safety, met firefighters, and got an inside look at what it means to serve the community. 🚒

“I want to be a firefighter to help the people in my neighborhood in case they need help with fires.” -BRIDGE Kid🩷

Thank you to the Charlotte Fire Department for welcoming our students and showing what courage and community look like. 💙
