Welcome

Building Bridges is an intensive rehabilitation program for at-risk youth between 9-18 years of age who have not responded to more traditional forms of probation and supervision. They are the kids other organizations have given up on. They are the toughest of the rough kids.

The idea behind Building Bridges is simple. Instead of counseling kids from across a desk, Building Bridges creates real-life, hands-on experiences for young people in which they are likely to succeed. As their successes add up, the kids begin to build self-esteem, something most of them despite their street tough exteriors, are sorely lacking.
