You Can Help Make a Difference--Here's How:
Community Bridges could not survive without the incredible support of our volunteers, contributors, and funders. To all, we extend our sincere appreciation. We welcome your support and involvement in our programs, whether it's through a donation of money, contribution of materials for our programs and office, or volunteering your time.
If you live in the Washington metropolitan area and have a passion for making a positive difference in the lives of disadvantaged girls, here are some ways you can get involved in our programs...
Program Assistant Internship
This will be a great opportunity for people who are interested in gaining experience in their field of studythrough direct service to a non-profit youth development program. Interns will be co-facilitating our program along with our program manager at least 2 days per week from 2:00pm - 5:00pm. In addition, interns will also be working closely with families, schools and communities. You can choose any days from Monday through Friday depending on your availability. Interns commit to invest 7-10 hours per week for at least 9 months.
Become a Mentor!
The Dream Catchers program serves 8th grade girls through by-weekly dinner meetings and outings with their mentors. We will be meeting at the Community Bridges office from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm every first and last Tuesday of each month. We have about 14 people each week. The program will begin in early October and will continue until the end of May 2011. Mentors commit to invest 6 hours a month for at least 9 months.
Other ways to get involved..
You can teach a one-time workshop such as how to play instruments, yoga, or your can share your life story. You can share your skills, talent, experience or knowledge with our girls!
