Our motto is “A rising tide lifts all boats!”

In the past, The Bridge Downeast has partnered with several organizations in order to develop opportunities within the community.

New partnerships with institutions in the area are also being developed. In 2019, The Bridge will be working with Carteret Community College to provide continuing education and lifelong learning opportunities for families. We will also be working with Carteret County Health Department, NC Coastal Federation and many small and large businesses in the area to bring resources to the youth in the Down East communities.

The Board of Directors recognize that the future of our community lies in today’s youth. Enhancing and supporting their development throughout childhood and adolescence provides the best chance for a successful transition into responsible adulthood.
