Become a Bridges Volunteer

The faces of our volunteers are as diverse as those of our street friends. A Girl Scout might fill a brown bag with a sandwich, fruit, and a treat; a 17 year-old boy will talk football with a street friend; a grandmother might stir soup for the Run on a cold Friday night.

Over 1,500 volunteers from pre-school age to senior citizens, from corporations and businesses to boys and girls scout troops make essential contributions to Bridges. Many will participate in a Bridges Run and visit homeless friends on the street or in shelters. Others make brown bag lunches and soup or collect needed items for Bridges to distribute. Some volunteer weekly, some yearly. The opportunities to make a difference are numerous and rewarding.

Our Executive Director is happy to work with you to find the volunteer role that suits you or your group. Bridges is a rewarding way to fulfill community service hours, mitzvah or confirmation pledges. We can always find an interesting project for a girl or boy scout troop. We count on businesses, corporations and other affiliate groups for the essential contributions they provide.

We depend on hundreds of volunteers to help us fulfill our mission.
