Bridges to Prosperity at Virginia Tech
We are student led service organization that seeks to empower developing communities through foot bridge building, thereby advancing community public works, economic prosperity, and community access to schools, medicine, jobs, and markets. Bridges to Prosperity seeks to advance the lives of each student involved by providing an opportunity to broaden cultural perspectives, gain hands-on professional experience, and by allowing each student to use their own education to serve others who are less fortunate.
