Our Mission

Its mission is to build strong and mutually respectful relationships, to do its part to build a just and equitable society, and to live with a sense of hope and promise. In particular Urban Bridges was formed to provide a cotinuum of services which nurture and empower women and children in the Greater Haverhill community.

From its inception Urban Bridges Inc. has endeavored to be inclusive of a broad swath of both religious and secular groups, to represent good citizenship and build community, and to provide a safe haven for neighborhood families within a stimulating learning environment, while providing a welcoming and supportive place, where conversation, empathy, and encouragement meet the stress of inner city problems.
