AREAS OF IMPACT.
THE BRIDGE
IMPACT CENTER
The Bridge Impact Center is a youth center located in the heart of OKC’s Eastside serving middle and high-school students. The Bridge offers incentives and programs focused on education, creative expression, career discovery, and entrepreneurship.
HOPE CULTURE LEADERSHIP
Hope Culture Leadership is the campus engagement arm of Urban Bridge. HCL is committed to creating partnerships with school leaders and students to infuse hope in the needs of the administration and student body. Our leadership sessions, pep talks, and small group sessions catalyze hope and impact culture.
UNITY PARK
Unity Park is a city-wide program that empowers creative, entrepreneurial pathways for next-generation leaders aged 18-24. Partnerships with local businesses and leaders nurture ideation and mentor young people as they work to move ideas from dreams to implementation.
NATRUWELL MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Natruwell is a mental health partnership with licensed mental health counselors. These services are provided at no cost so individuals in need can have access to support. Our goal is to fortify individuals through mental health services so that young people and their families can be well - mind, body, and soul.
Eastside Youth
Culture is changing. OKC’s Eastside youth are seeing the world evolve around them but don’t always get to fully participate.
Urban Bridge brings a holistic approach that serves the whole student - mind, body, and soul. Youth are given a safe space to dream and engage with new opportunities and people.
By creating innovative experiences, we lift the lids off what youth have previously thought possible for themselves. This results in students who create a tangible vision for their lives and activate the potential that is already within them.
NE Community Leaders
There are many roadblocks to the comprehensive health and success of NE Oklahoma City. Community leaders are stretched thin and can feel isolated or disconnected. But true progress can be achieved within the community.
Urban Bridge creates pathways that unite youth and community leaders for a common purpose.
Bridging the opportunity gap with a collaborative culture allows for churches, organizations, and leaders to work together for the common good of the Eastside and invest in the future creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders of our community.
