Volunteer Form for Bridges to a Brighter Future (Revised 2026)

Bridges to a Brighter Future’s mission is to transform the lives of students, whose potential outdistances their circumstances, by providing educational access and opportunity through a comprehensive program that builds self-confidence, resiliency, and leadership to break the cycle of poverty through post-secondary education.

At the core of Bridges to a Brighter Future’s mission is an understanding that the effects of generational poverty hinder equitable post-secondary education access. One of the ways to address generational poverty is by providing high school students access to opportunities and experiences that prepare them for post-secondary success.

If you are interested in volunteering with our organization and the students we serve, please complete this form in its entirety. Thank you in advance for making a difference in the lives of our students.
