The Bridge is always looking for volunteers for our Youth Advocacy Mentoring Program. Mentoring is the single most effective way for a caring adult to positively impact a troubled child’s life.
If you have a sincere desire to help, an open heart and the willingness to share your time with a deserving child, the Bridge wants you!
Volunteer mentors, or Youth Advocates as we call them, provide guidance, love, attention, and most importantly, time to at-risk youth ages 7-15.
After initial training, advocates are asked to commit to a one-year relationship with a child that includes weekly get-togethers and monthly meetings with other advocates.
Our mentoring program is open to children who live within the Palatine Township.
