Bullying can be found in all types of organizations and societal structures, but it is perhaps more obvious and destructive during the middle school and high school years. The concept of bullying behavior in schools has been presented so often in films and television that it has become almost an expectation of being a student. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Even though bullying has been around as long as humans have lived in societies, there are bullying prevention efforts that can make these formative years safer for middle school and high school age students. 

Volunteering with your family provides numerous benefits. Whether it be serving your local food pantry, animal shelter, senior citizen home, or non-profit community thrift store (how about The Bridge Thrift Store?!), all provide unique ways to give back to the community as well as opportunities for you and your family to connect in a meaningful way.

To provide as many programs and events as possible during these unusual times, we'll offer a variety of programs on Zoom. 

In total, our annual Chefs' Auction fundraiser raised over $193,000 which will provide 640 students with unlimited access to The Bridge Teen Center for one full year. All proceeds from the event supported the 350+ free holistic afterschool programs and events held every year for thousands of teens from 128 different communities.
