Since opening in June of this year, The Bridge Teen Center has trained more than 30 volunteers for a variety of roles. However, as more students find their way to The Bridge, the need for more volunteers rises. We need your help! Our most pressing needs are:
After School Tutors: Tutors are needed in a wide variety of subjects on Tuesdays through Thursdays during after school hours. High school juniors and seniors who are interested in helping junior high students are also encouraged to apply.
Front Desk: Individuals are needed to greet students, check them in, sign them out, answer phones, etc. We are looking for people who can do shifts during after school hours. College students are encouraged to apply.
Pilates & Fitness Instructors: As part of our mind/body program series, we are seeking trained instructors who can conduct pilates and fitness programs for teens during after school hours.
Community Promotion: We always need help spreading the word. We are looking for people who are interested in distributing and posting flyers, promoting The Bridge at your church, etc.
The Bridge Teen Center desires each volunteer to serve out their strengths, skills, and giftedness. For the safety of our students, and to determine where each person should serve to the best of their ability, we have a process for becoming a volunteer. This includes filling out an application, interviewing, and training.
