Two Bridges at Cornell Tech

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for Two Bridges Academic programming. In collaboration with the innovative minds at Cornell Tech, we’ve launched a pilot initiative on their stunning Roosevelt Island campus.

This initiative connects our high school and college-bound student-athletes with Cornell Tech graduate students through the newly formed “Two Bridges Club.” These graduate mentors—many of whom are pursuing MBA and advanced technical degrees—are stepping forward to tutor, mentor, and support our players in ways that extend far beyond the field.

What This Means for Our Students

The mentorship program focuses on academic achievement, college preparedness, and personal growth. Beyond tutoring, these dedicated graduate students are guiding our athletes through the essential process of assembling their game highlight reels using the cutting-edge resources available at the Cornell Tech media lab. These reels are key for students aiming to showcase their talents to collegiate programs.

A Space for Inspiration

The state-of-the-art Cornell Tech campus offers more than just a beautiful learning environment—it’s a hub for creativity, innovation, and ambition. For our student-athletes, it’s a chance to experience a world where technology, business, and education converge, sparking inspiration for their futures both on and off the field.

Looking Ahead

This initiative is just the beginning. We’re excited to see how the bonds formed between Two Bridges athletes and Cornell Tech mentors evolve over time. Together, they are creating a powerful narrative of collaboration, determination, and excellence.

Two Bridges Football Club (TBFC) stands as a shining example of community and resilience, built on a foundation of inclusivity, excellence, and opportunity. At the core of TBFC is the unwavering belief that soccer should be accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. As a 100% no pay-to-play nonprofit, TBFC ensures that every talented athlete, no matter their background, has the chance to participate in high-level soccer, while also being supported in their academic pursuits. This model has made the club a beacon of hope for student-athletes who might otherwise not have the chance to pursue their dreams in sports or education.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build opportunities for our players to shine in every arena of their lives.
