Books & Bridges is a student led non-profit organization to promote literary, education and mental health among youth in underprivileged communities. Through fundraisers and community partnerships, we will collect and distribute books, in genres from fiction, non-fiction, STEM and education, to shelters, schools, and learning centers every month where access is limited.

In each shipment box, we will include a short prompt for students to write and reflect on experiences, dreams, careers, and aspirations to encourage writing, literary skills, evoke passions, and scientific interests in return for a book. These organizations can ship the writing back to us, and each month we will highlight responses that stand out and feature it on our social media platforms after seeking individual permission. In addition, we will include personalized notes in each book as motivation to challenge students to pursue their dreams.

Our goal is to not only to give away books but to encourage the pursuit of scientific knowledge, passion and literary among underprivileged communities.
