Connected and maintained a relationship with the NGO AllSides and the organization BridgeUSA. Created a curriculum that allowed schools across the country and Bridge’s chapters to connect and discuss polarized topics. Both organizations advocate for appreciating diverse perspectives in a polarized society, so helped plan and execute events/advocacy to teach about the cause. Onboarded a new leader to pass the program leadership onto, but continue to advise and monitor growth. Connected and maintained a relationship with the NGO AllSides and the organization BridgeUSA.
