The Bridge Guide: A collection of reflections, best practices, and resources from practitioners who work with immigrant girls and young women

This publication is intended for youth workers, program coordinators and facilitators, educators, counsellors, policy-makers, researchers and anyone who works with and cares about the empowerment of immigrant girls and young women.

The Bridge Guide is a collection of reflections, strategies, and resources from organizations and individuals working with immigrant girls and young women across Canada. These contributors, collectively called our “community colleagues”, work in a variety of contexts and settings and each offer a different experience and expertise. The intention of this guide is to raise awareness and advance the thinking about the realities and strengths as well as the challenges facing immigrant girls and young women. We also want to share tools and approaches for empowering immigrant girls and young women based on the varied programming experiences of our contributors..
