Kidsbridge is dedicated to providing imaginative, hands-on programs that focus on: anti-bullying, diversity appreciation, empathy and respect for all individuals, victim empowerment, upstander behavior and conflict resolution.
The Kidsbridge Tolerance Center is the only youth-oriented tolerance center in the United States. It is located in the Ewing Senior & Community Center in Ewing, NJ (beginning in July 2014.) From March 2006 through June 2014, Kidsbridge was generously housed on the campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ.
Each year more than 2,200 students and 200 educators visit the Center, learning strategies to better deal with the challenging character education and diversity appreciation issues facing today’s youth. Kidsbridge includes components of the exhibit “Face to Face: Dealing with Prejudice and Discrimination,” created by the Chicago Children’s Museum and purchased by Kidsbridge in 2006. In an open and interactive environment (also known as a learning lab), trained Kidsbridge staff, TCNJ college students and professors, retired educators and other adult volunteers from the local community meaningfully interact with visiting elementary and middle school students and educators. To date, almost 15,000 youth have visited Kidsbridge.
Empower youth and transform communities through evidence-based character education, life skills training and bullying prevention programs.
