The Bridge Initiative is women-led artistic collective and incubator in Phoenix, Arizona that uses theatre and media to build bridges in our community. We believe theatre can act as a mirror and a window to inspire growth and build community. We envision an equitable industry where women and other historically and systemically marginalized groups are safe, represented, and valued. We aspire to a healthy, multi-tiered professional theatre ecosystem in Arizona that provides just compensation and the highest quality artistic opportunities from new work incubation to full production. We want to build a community of safe and brave spaces where artists and audience use theatre and media to spark dialogue, inspire reflection, and grow a better world.

Kids Now has been inspiring leadership, building self-confidence, and coaching kids to make positive choices through free, in-school, after-school, group youth mentoring programs. Created in 1999 by a Canadian educator who saw a need to complement the existing school curriculum with life skills development, the Kids Now program has made a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of thousands of Canadian kids. Led by volunteer coach-mentors, many of whom are employees from leading companies, the Kids Now 12 week program features a well-defined curriculum, which includes educational games, activities and group discussions that teach leadership, anti-bullying, dealing with peer pressures and family issues, goal-setting, effective communication, conflict resolution and other valuable life-success skills.
