City Year's Bridge Builders of the Year

This year, in partnership with Rick Cavender & Harvey Najim, City Year is introducing an Annual Bridge Builder Award that will be given to one partner teacher at each of City Year San Antonio's San Antonio Independent School District partner schools. City Year requested that principals nominate a teacher that exemplies the characteristics of a Bridge Builder.

Our programming at Ripples of Hope will end with the presentation of the Bridge Builder Award to these incredible teachers who show up for students everyday. We look forward to celebrating these remarkable educators with you!

'Bridge Building' is a powerful metaphor and tool for social change. Seeing and making connections, whether among people or ideas, is a hallmark of bridge builders, whose lives are rooted in values and who dedicate their time and energy to causes larger than themselves.

Bridge builders bring out the best in others by connecting resources and talents to great and worthy causes, especially anticipating the needs of future generations. They use the wisdom and experience they have gleaned for the benefit of others, even those whom they may never meet.
