Building Bridges for Youth in Southwest Missouri
Bridges For Youth's passion for kids has taken us to the nooks and crannies of town. There, off the beaten path, amongst the hundreds of kids who live in a single neighborhood, you will find those who have become invisible and forgotten by so many.
The challenges they face often create a darkness in their lives that breeds hopelessness and tells them they will never amount to anything. In many of those neighborhoods Bridges For Youth Centers have sprung up to bring light into the darkness of kids lives.
Compassion, forgiveness, and a firm stand to never give up on kids is what has fashioned us into a unique Christ-centered support system that is available for kids from ages 6 to 18.
The involvement of volunteers and donors is what fuels our donation driven youth centers and has risen us up to meet the needs of our areas at-risk communities and the precious kids
who live there.
"I wish I would have had a place like this when I was a kid" is a phrase we have heard again and again from adults who are either bringing their kids to Bridges or have grown up in the area without any Bridges For Youth Center.
