The Bridge’s very first Grandparents & Bingo Hangout! 🎉

Students got to invite their grandparents to The Bridge to meet friends and volunteers, explore the space, and enjoy a fun round of Bingo, with a prize table that did not disappoint!

It was such a sweet and special day. ❤️

Crisp fall air and forest trails! 🍂🍎

In this program led by Trinity Christian College, students took full advantage of the beautiful autumn weather with a fun hike through the forest. The day wrapped up perfectly with warm, delicious apple cider!

A big thank you to Moraine Valley Community College and Old National Bank for sponsoring this semester’s programs.

Happy Friday! ✨

We had so much fun last week at our Pumpkin Palooza event! Students enjoyed tasty snacks from Nautical Bowls, a live performance from The Improv Garage, pumpkin-themed games, and more.

Join us THIS WEEK for our Trick or Trivia & S’mores Night! Put your brain to the test in our Halloween-themed trivia, then head to the Art Studio to create your very own clay monster. Costumes are encouraged (and must be appropriate!) No masks or weapons are allowed at The Bridge. After all the fun, warm up with cozy s’mores by the fire and enjoy a not-so-scary sweet treat from Trugurt. 👻

Thank you Providence Bank & Trust for sponsoring Friday nights this fall.

Our Mission

The Bridge Teen Center is an innovative grassroots nonprofit community center that was designed around the interests and needs of teens in the suburbs. We opened in Orland Park in 2010, and have served over 5,800 different teens and families from 128 Chicago Southland and Northwest Indiana communities.

Our mission is to provide free programs during after-school and unsupervised hours where students can develop mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually in a safe environment. The vision of The Bridge Teen Center is to provide teens with a place to find hope, purpose, and direction.

We serve students in 7th-12th grade, and also provide ongoing programs and resources to help parents navigate through the teenage years. Because student safety is our primary concern, The Bridge is managed by experienced professionals who are supported by well-trained and pre-screened adult volunteers.
