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.
