Our Work

Building Bridges

Building Bridges is an initiative in Shasta County and the greater North State to equip our community to engage in healthy dialogue by focusing on what unites us rather than what divides us. We strive to create a space where people can disagree while still respecting one another as human beings.

Building Bridges is a non-partisan effort that offers meaningful opportunities for all caring citizens to get involved.
