Empower young people to engage in constructive dialogue and disagreement to improve the quality of politics.
A thriving US democracy where leaders and citizens engage in respectful, productive dialogue.
The goal of BridgeUSA is not to change minds or create centrists, but encourage students to engage differing beliefs, experiences and perspectives. What unites us is not agreement on policies, but a shared mindset.
The BridgeUSA Mindset champions understanding, empathy, open-mindedness and a willingness to engage those who are different from us.
BridgeUSA strongly believes in our ability to hold strong beliefs while being able to express them in a constructive manner.
Come to a discussion with your beliefs as they are. Be open about them. Give others the same grace. That’s what Bridge is about.
