It’s All About Relationships

Getting involved with The Bridge Project is a great way to make a difference - in your community, with a child, and even yourself. You will come away with a profound sense of respect for the children you work with and a wonderful sense of knowing you added to a child’s life.

Volunteers play a critical role in The Bridge Project. Every year over 500 active adult volunteers commit time and energy to The Bridge Project. Volunteers help with many different programs, from on-site mentoring to the summer program to the advisory board of directors.

On-Site Mentor/Tutor (recruiting now for 2012-2013 school year)

This volunteer role is the most valued one at The Bridge Project. After a brief training session you will be matched with a youth and spend one hour a week during the school year which ends in mid-May. This program takes place Monday through Thursday from 4:00p-8:00p in one of four public housing neighborhoods. On-site Mentors/Tutors choose a day and time that works best for their schedule. The Bridge Project seeks people who are 18 years and older. No special skills are required. Get Started Now.
