Volunteers and Mentors — Bridges Ministries

Your Presence Can Change Everything

Write Encouragement & Prayer Cards

Every week, we write and mail personalized prayer cards to our attending students. A simple, handwritten note of encouragement can completely turn a student's day around and remind them that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

Teach or Assist a Class

Do you have a skill, trade, or passion you would love to share? We are always looking for volunteer instructors and teaching assistants to lead or support interactive classes:

Life Skills & Practical Trades: Basic Automotive Maintenance, Basic Electrical, Basic Plumbing, Cooking & Nutrition, Financial Literacy & Stewardship, First Aid, and Woodworking.
Creative Arts & Media: Arts & Crafts, Drawing, Photography, Sewing, Music, Dance, Podcasting, and Theater & Creative Expression.
Faith & Discipleship: Bible Study, Small Group Facilitation, and Discipleship.

Front Desk and Security

Help us keep our students safe and welcoming as a Front Desk & Security Volunteer. Monday through Thursday afternoons while our students are in session, our doors remain locked to ensure a secure environment. In this role, you will staff the front entrance, greet students, visitors, and fellow volunteers with a warm welcome, and manage the check-in process. No prior security experience is required, just a friendly face, a watchful eye, and a strong commitment to creating a safe, organized space for everyone.

Facility Care & Hospitality

Help us keep our space clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone who walks through our doors! Volunteers in this role assist with essential facility maintenance, including sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and keeping the kitchen and restrooms fresh and ready for students and the community.

Cafe Barista

Help create a warm, welcoming space while learning hands-on barista skills! Volunteers in our cafe assist during regular business hours or during our after-school ministry program. You’ll learn how to craft specialty coffees, teas, smoothies, dirty sodas, and more, all while serving up hospitality and connecting with our students and guests.

Homeschool Hub, Community Theatre, and Weekend Utilization

We also offer exciting, periodic opportunities to support our Homeschool Hub and Community Theatre productions throughout the year. Whether helping behind the scenes, assisting with events, or supporting students during special daytime programs, your help makes these community initiatives possible.

When a teen has a trusted adult who believes in them, everything shifts.
