Our Leadership Team.
Our Founding Group was inspired to start Crossing the Bridge through our first hand exposure to the benefits of mentorship and inequities in access to mentorship.
With our own range backgrounds and skillsets, we know the value of having a team that reflects the diversity of the population we serve. If you're interested in mentorship, we invite you to fill out our application, regardless of academic or personal background.
