Become a Bridge Tutor and Mentor for K-8 Youth
Enhance your leadership skills as you help younger students in their academic, social, and emotional growth. Bridge can help fulfill the LAUSD Service Learning requirement for graduation.
YOUTH SERVICES BRIDGE PROGRAM
KYCC trains high school students (9th-12th grade) to “bridge the gap” between themselves and K-8 youth as tutors and mentors. Our Bridge volunteers develop leadership as well as life skills that provide an invaluable opportunity to serve others.
Many of our Bridge students join the program to meet the requirement and choose to stay well after they have completed it because they love the program!
The Bridge program is designed to be youth-led. Therefore, Bridge volunteers can apply to join the cabinet of officers for each school year starting in June.
Officer positions include president, vice president, Volunteer Manager, Secretary, Treasurer, and Historian.
Our youth officers have the responsibility of attending weekly officer meetings to discuss program management, as well as completing one classroom shift and one officer shift.
KYCC offers many internships throughout the year for our youth. Please find more information on internships on our Careers Page.
