Mentoring Information Session

The Bridge Youth & Family Services will host an information session on April 9 at 6:30 p.m. for those who are interested in learning more about becoming mentors to at-risk children in Palatine Township. 

The mentoring program at The Bridge Youth & Family Services works with children between the ages of 7 and 15 who are most often referred to the program by school social workers and Bridge therapists. Youth are matched one-on-one with adult mentors who commit to spending a few hours per week with their mentee for one year. 

Those interested in learning more about how they can positively impact a child’s life are invited to RSVP or download a flyer.
