Bridges for Education is a non-profit educational organization based in Buffalo, NY, dedicated to promoting tolerance and understanding through the use of English as a bridge. Since its establishment in 1994, the organization has organized 84 camps, sending nearly 950 volunteer teachers to eight countries in Central and Eastern Europe, serving approximately 11,000 students from 38 different countries.
With a focus on recruiting teachers without regard to their ethnic, religious, or racial backgrounds, Bridges for Education aims to foster understanding, tolerance, and friendships among students from diverse backgrounds. By offering a unique opportunity to make a positive impact, gain appreciation, and expand one's knowledge of the world, the organization embodies Mark Twain's belief that travel is essential in overcoming prejudice and narrow-mindedness.
