about ibuildbridges

Building Bridges Between Us

BuildBridges was founded as a 501 (C3) nonprofit in 2018 by a small group dedicated to developing ways to bring people together across racial, cultural, and religious divides.

‍Our mission is to use music and storytelling to inspire individuals to actively build relationships with people of different backgrounds.

‍At the heart of our organization is a troupe of young musical artists who use their talent to build bridges between people from different cultures and backgrounds. This dedicated troupe collaborates in creative partnership with our Musical Director, Eduardo Mendonça, and our Executive Director and Co-Founder, Gary Wenet, to create and share music through inspiring live and virtual performances.

Building Bridges in Classrooms

iBuildBridges is proud to introduce Classroom Sessions for high school, college, and university students. We partner with instructors from music departments to develop curriculum that engages students in stimulating discussions about the many ways music and storytelling can build bridges between people of different races, cultures, and religious backgrounds.

Our sessions introduce students to our talented team of musical artists who enthusiastically share their music and stories—demonstrating the power of sharing stories and inviting others to share theirs. Our artists are passionate about the potential for music to bring people together to bridge divides.

Each Classroom Session is facilitated by our talented Musical Director, Eduardo Mendonça, working in collaboration with instructors to provide creative, unique, and inspirational classroom experiences.
‍
By creating space for our young musical artists to connect with classrooms across the country, educators can help students celebrate and share the diverse stories of their communities.
