Building Bridges at Yale: Forging cross-cultural connections to make a difference

As one of Yale's newest organizations, Building Bridges is a student organization that started at Yale University in 2008 to involve college students in pooling educational resources and capital to teach disadvantaged children in China. Alongside our peers from top Chinese universities, we seek to raise awareness among students everywhere about China’s current state of education and society. Building Bridges opportunities engage the diversity of experiences among American and Chinese college and high school students, migrant children in Beijing, earthquake survivors in Sichuan, cross-cultural NGOs, and other interest groups.
