The Problem
The Bridge Teen Center provides free afterschool programs for teens to help them develop mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We encourage our teens to not just exist in the community, but to be an active part of it. This is encouraged through our Project Serve series which includes multiple service projects that enable teens to serve their communities. Our wish is for 7th through 12th grade students will have fun, while serving their communities.
Our Plan
