About This Cause
Building Bridges Across the River (Building Bridges) was founded in 2005 to operate the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC), a hub for community organizations serving residents of Ward 8. Today, Building Bridges offers programs and leads partnerships at THEARC and across Southeast DC. Building Bridges core projects include THEARC Theater, Building Bridges Farms, the 11th Street Bridge Park, and Skyland Workforce Center. Together with our partners, Building Bridges reduces barriers to social and economic mobility in three intersecting areas: Arts & Culture: Building Bridges presents a theater season that celebrates and promotes Black arts and culture, offers state-of-the-art venues and educational spaces for performers and community groups, and supports local artists and emerging production professionals. Economic Opportunity: Building Bridges assists job-seekers, entrepreneurs, students of all ages, and the organizations that help them prepare for successful careers. Health & Well-being: Building Bridges provides access to fresh food, healthcare, and opportunities to relax, play, and build community in our neighborhood.
