BRIDGE BUILDERS

What is a Bridge Builder?

The La Crosse Area Chamber Bridge Builders Program helps those who have relocated to Greater La Crosse learn more about their new community and make connections as they settle in. We match newcomers with a Bridge Builder, a community ambassador with established personal and professional networks and a strong knowledge of Greater La Crosse. Bridge Builders and newcomers are paired based upon their shared interests, and once matched, the Bridge Builder becomes a first friend who can answer questions, make connections, and help our newest neighbors feel right at home in Greater La Crosse.

Become a Bridge Builder

Do you love Greater La Crosse?  Share your knowledge of our community, connect newcomers to your network, and offer your friendship and support as our new community members acclimate to our area. Apply to become a Bridge Builder!
