Bridge: Students for Social Innovation
Mission
Bridge is a Wagner-based group that seeks to connect students and professionals who are interested in social entrepreneurship and innovation. We believe that innovative solutions to entrenched social problems lie at the intersection of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. We connect students, academics, and professionals in order to learn about innovative approaches in the field through discussions and hands-on experience, and we help members develop professional skills that prepare them for a successful career in social innovation.
Bridge encourages students and professionals at Wagner, NYU, and beyond to explore the intersection of the public, nonprofit, and private sectors through education, networking, and professional skill-building in the following areas:
- Social Entrepreneurship
