Volunteers are the heart of The Bridge and allow us to continue to provide high-quality services to our Guests each day.

Thank you for showing interest in our Volunteer Program, currently our volunteer application is paused for new individuals (we will resume in the new year). Please consider other ways of impact,(i.e., a one-time monetary donation or visit our Amazon Wishlist)! For groups interested in volunteering on campus please email volunteer@bridgehrc.org

Individual & Group Volunteer Opportunities

We are always looking for new individual and group volunteers to join us at The Bridge. There are some great ways to give back and help our Guests.

Reminder, you must be 18 + to volunteer on our campus. However, there are many ways to give back to our Guests without stepping foot onto our campus including building Welcome Baskets or hosting a donation drive. Send an email to volunteer@bridgehrc.org to find out more.
