Bridges for Education is a not for profit educational organization incorporated through the New York State Education Department. It was founded in 1994 and has state and federal tax exempt status. It is not a religious or ethnic organization. It receives no government funding. BFE teachers are volunteers who pay their own airfare and BFE administrative expenses. They receive free room and board, a modest stipend, and one week of travel in the host country for their volunteer work.Cluj, Romania
