The Bridge Youth Center (The Bridge) is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is open to all community youth who need a safe and caring place.  More than half of the students involved at the Bridge do not claim any type of church affiliation and over 70% of the kids who attend come from families who struggle daily to meet life's basic necessities.

The Bridge is responsible for its own fundraising annually.  Our budget is met through donations from local corporations, individuals, churches, and grants.  For 2024, our operating budget goal is set at $405,000.  This provides the funding for The Bridge to offer eleven impactful programs that reach over 150 students weekly.

The Bridge is blessed with solid leadership and selfless volunteers.  Our Board of Directors is made up of 12 individuals who represent a cross section of our area.  This Board along with over 85 other volunteers - representing more than 24 different churches and communities, all ranging in age from 14-93 years of age - serve the greater Zeeland area youth who enter our doors and whom we are privileged to serve.
