Community Bridges, Inc

Community Bridges empowers girls from diverse backgrounds to become exceptional students, positive leaders and healthy young women. We do so by addressing the developmental needs of immigrant and minority girls and their families living at or below the federal poverty level in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Community Bridges (CB) envisions an inclusive community where each person is valued and has abundant opportunities to improve themselves and the world around them. Community Bridges connects girls from low-income and immigrant families to their schools, families and community. We build these connections, "our bridges," with programming for girls and their families that includes after-school and out-of-school programs, college access and success, mentoring and support for families.

CB offers various volunteer opportunities throughout the school year for both students and adult volunteers. Volunteer opportunities include:

• Volunteer to support one-time events: Volunteers can also support our CB events, such as family events or food distributions through set up, managing a station, helping usher attendees, or clean up. Dates and times vary and we welcome student volunteers.
• Volunteer as a Driver: Volunteers help deliver groceries to a CB family who may not have a car and needs access to food distributions or deliver gifts during our CB Holiday Giving. Volunteers must be adults.
• Volunteer in Girls School-Based programs: support a school-based CB program as a volunteer to assist a program manager. Volunteers should be more consistent and ready to interact with CB girls. Program volunteers will go through a screening process. Volunteers must be adults.
• Volunteer as a CB Mentor: become a powerful role model to a cB girl by serving as a CB Mentor for a 1-year commitment and a 1:1 mentoring relationship. Volunteers must be adults.
