Our Mission Statement

Bridge Beyond is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our organization partners with college communities, specifically student volunteers, to help advocate, assist, and advance the efforts towards helping people who experience homelessness.

Our Vision

 

Bridge Beyond is committed to assisting those who experience homelessness and housing instability. Bridge Beyond recognizes that there are a number of other organizations that have worked extensively to establish relationships with the local community. Rather than producing parallel efforts with pre-existing organizations, we are utilizing the college student community to fill in the gaps in efforts towards helping people who are experiencing homelessness. College students are a highly motivated, diverse, privileged group that is often in search of volunteer work. Many college communities are located within and around cities which are the epicenter of homelessness. 

Bridge Beyond recognizes the potential of collaborating with college communities across the country. This is partly because there is a considerable under-utilization of the large number of college students in efforts surrounding homelessness. Additionally, college students have access to a vast number of resources, such as electronics and stable internet connection. This puts them in an ideal position to help address homelessness in the United States.
