Hands For a Bridge (HFB) is an innovative and immersive program designed to educate and empower students to build a more connected, informed and just world. Run through a unique partnership with Roosevelt High School in Seattle, students must apply to participate in the intensive academic and extra-curricular program. Teachers and volunteers lead the students through a year-long language arts class, along with recurring after-school meetings, and a bilateral international exchange program. Using the arts as a lens, students learn to examine and discuss social justice issues that impact their own identities, their communities, and our globally-connected world. HFB students emerge as transformed global citizens with vision and resources to effect vital change in our world.
