At NextGen Bridge, we believe every child deserves the freedom to express who they are. Our mission is to bridge the gap for underprivileged youth by helping them build confidence and creativity through the arts.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every child, regardless of background, can explore and enjoy the arts.
Founder
Nicole Lee
My name is Nicole Lee, and I’m a sophomore at Geffen Academy at UCLA. The arts have always played a huge part in my life. From ukulele, to ceramics, to contemporary dance, the arts have shaped me into the person I am today. I’ve been especially passionate about ballet, piano, and guitar since around first grade. Through a recent summer program, I discovered how much I love working with kids. It also became clear to me that many underprivileged children don’t have the opportunity to experience the arts. My goal is to give every child the chance to explore music, dance, and creativity. For them to try it, see if they enjoy it, and most importantly-- to have fun.
