October is "Empowering Teens Month"
Posted on May 1 2025 by Aaron Heldt

What is Empowering Teens Month?
Empowering Teens Month celebrates and brings awareness to the importance of afterschool programs - like those offered at The Bridge Teen Center - that help teens find likes, new interests and discover who they were created to be.
With all the challenges in today's world, teenagers need safe and encouraging places not just to BE, but also to BECOME. The Bridge Teen Center and The Bridge Thrift Store are committed to engaging, connecting and empowering young people on a daily basis.
Through our FREE afterschool and job readiness programs, we helping teens find hope, purpose and direction.
