Volunteer Lunch Mentor: Inspire Elementary Youth

The Bridge serves children from birth through age 21 and their families by providing counseling, mentoring, parenting classes, family stabilization for runaway, locked out or homeless youth and community education.

The Bridge Buddies program provides a mentoring opportunity for elementary students in our community by matching the youth with caring adults who are interested in making positive impacts in the lives of the children.

The Bridge is currently looking for volunteer mentors to help us extend opportunities to all youth who need us! As a mentor, you will be supporting elementary aged youth during their lunch hour (11AM-1PM CST) and you will truly make a difference in someone's life. Mentors will be matched with a student that they will visit during the school day on the child's lunch hour.

Commitment is weekly for an hour or more.

• Mentors must be 21 years of age.
• Mentors must pass background checks.
• Mentors must be willing to participate in a training program prior to mentoring the youth.
• Volunteers must have a desire to work with youth and an interest in mentoring.
• Must be friendly, energetic and have at least 3+ years of experience working with kids.
