Campus Bridging Initiative (CBI) by Civic Bridgers unites
college students from urban and rural backgrounds for a week-long immersion of bridge-building. During this immersive experience, students strengthen their understanding of urban and rural perspectives while examining how cross-cultural engagement and collaboration strengthen our democracy. As a capstone project, students develop a strategy for ongoing, mutual investment in their respective communities.
