The Bridge Teen Center
The Bridge is designed around the interests and needs of teens in the suburbs and is open to students between 7th and 12th grades. We opened in Orland Park in 2010, and have served over 4,700 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.
The Bridge Teen Center is a faith-based nonprofit community center, not affiliated with any church or denomination. Students of all faiths and backgrounds are always welcome. The Bridge also receives financial and volunteer support from churches of varying denominations.
