BridgeWorks
Care & Empowerment of Youth at-risk in Northern Thailand.
Mission:
Equipping, Empowering, Protecting and Nurturing at-risk children & youth in Chiangmai, Thailand.
Working to overcome the exploitation and obstacles that hinder at-risk children & youth from developing productive, fulfilling, and purposeful lives.
Ethos:
Building relationships with locally directed (Thailand) Children’s Homes ministries, to provide encouragement, programs and support in their care of at-risk children and youth. Providing direct transitional care and programs for at-risk youth in crisis.
Description:
BridgeWorks was conceived and birthed in 2009, from a perceived need to facilitate the transition and empowering of at-risk youth from local children’s homes – specifically those in crisis due to their situation / environment, and / or lacking in family care & support.
The main focus of BridgeWorks is the youth transitional care and programs, which aims to facilitate opportunities for continuing / completing education, life skills training, vocational skills training, and encouraging self-reliance (including providing opportunities to earn personal income).
