Opportunities From: ACT3 Ministries

Bridges Outreach provides tutoring to high schoolers as part of our after-school program at Kokomo High School.  We are currently looking to expand our services by adding more volunteers to our pool of existing tutors.  Many of our students are at-risk of not graduating and need additional help to secure opportunities for success beyond high school.  You will absolutely LOVE our students, and they will LOVE you.  Please, if you have experience teaching in these or other academic areas, consider offering 45 minutes a week to help our awesome kids overcome obstacles in order to graduate!

Our Project 30 Mentors meet with their students 30 minutes a week at the child's school, during the school day.  Mentors support their students academically, socially, and emotionally.  Our long term goal is for mentors to stick with their students throughout elementary school, but we ask for at least a one year commitment.  Our students need adult role models who are caring, wise, consistent, and dependable. 

To become a mentor, volunteers must submit a background check to their designated school and must undergo a short training session at the Bridges Outreach office.  This is a great, low-investment high-return opportunity when it comes to making an impact for the kingdom and the community!  So little is required but so much is possible!!! 

Mentors are desperately needed right now!  Please check us out.  It will be the best 30 minutes of your week! 

We are looking for someone who loves working with their hands and serving the Lord.  We could use someone skilled in a variety of areas of maintenance and repair who could help with small repairs around the office, occasional vehicle maintenance, and who could serve as an assistant project manager with our Bridges Homes. God is doing big things with our current housing program as well as with our growing staff (which means some expansion projects at the office!).  We'd love to have your help!

Bridges often takes groups of students on field trips and occasionally need the services of a volunteer bus driver to transport our kids!  Field trips typically occur on Fridays or Saturdays about once a month during the school year and up to once a week during Summer Slam (our five week summer day camp program).  You will absolutely LOVE our kids, and they will LOVE you!  These are fun, enriching, and life-giving opportunities with our students! 

Bridges programming is funded by gifts and grants.  We would love to have someone who is passionate about the Lord and about the work Bridges does to help us out by being a spokesperson for Bridges.  This person would help us raise money from friends and family during our annual fundraising initiative and then help us celebrate with a big golf outing event!  This would be mostly during the month of May through early June.  If you want to be a part of some really amazing things that God is doing in our schools, churches, and community through Bridges, give us a call!
