BRIDGE Program
Getting uncomfortable.
Gaining perspective.
The “bridge” in BRIDGE Program stands for Building Relationships In Diverse Global Environments. Participants travel to new communities and contexts outside their comfort zones — building bridges of empathy and connection in the process.
From gang-impacted communities in Los Angeles to the urban poverty in El Salvador, young men hear multiple viewpoints firsthand about real-world challenges. The result: a uniquely Salesian experience where students don’t attempt to save the world — they simply learn to understand it better.

Salesianum School
