Getting involved
Helping kids by volunteering!

An acquaintance recently shared with me that the time we are blessed with each day is actually God’s. As stewards of that time we are responsible for using that time wisely to the glory of God.
One of the best things you can do besides supporting Bridges For Youth financially is to come alongside us and be a volunteer.
You have the opportunity to be a regular volunteer at any of our youth centers.
Generally, our volunteer need at the centers is from 3:30 in the afternoon until 5:30. On Fridays we are open until 8:30, so we have a need for volunteers between 3:30 to 8:30 pm.
Volunteer forms and background check forms are available by calling 864-4167. Background checks are required to work around the kids.
You Can Impact the Lives of Kids!
It's incredibly humbling to ask for help—especially for a kid. So, as someone who helps these kids, we ask you to believe in them and help in this youth work. Click here for more information on how you can help with a financial gift.
