Eastside Youth

Culture is changing. OKC’s Eastside youth are seeing the world evolve around them but don’t always get to fully participate.

 

Urban Bridge brings a holistic approach that serves the whole student - mind, body, and soul. Youth are given a safe space to dream and engage with new opportunities and people.

By creating innovative experiences, we lift the lids off what youth have previously thought possible for themselves. This results in students who create a tangible vision for their lives and activate the potential that is already within them.

 

NE Community Leaders 

There are many roadblocks to the comprehensive health and success of NE Oklahoma City. Community leaders are stretched thin and can feel isolated or disconnected. But true progress can be achieved within the community.

 

Urban Bridge creates pathways that unite youth and community leaders for a common purpose.

 

Bridging the opportunity gap with a collaborative culture allows for churches, organizations, and leaders to work together for the common good of the Eastside and invest in the future creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders of our community.
