Are you looking for a way to get more deeply engaged and involved with your community?
Bridgeways works to promote independence and self-sufficiency for adults living with mental illness through an array of Employment, Housing and Mental Health Court programs. The time, talent, ideas and resources that community volunteers invest in Bridgeways make all of these programs possible.
Bridgeways is seeking individuals interested in board-level service opportunities who are passionate about helping adults living with mental illness achieve independence and engagement in the community.
If you have a heart for service, are willing to collaborate with other individuals who are finding creative solutions to some of our most pressing problems, and you’ve got a few hours a month to spare, consider joining Bridgeways’ board of directors.
In particular, we are looking for motivated, detail-oriented, compassionate individuals who have:
- ties to the mental health and/or social services community
- human resources expertise
- a flair for fund development and relationship-building.
Our board meets once every other month. Other duties include joining a sub-committee to further the work our dedicated staff performs every day.
Visiting Bridgeways for a tour to learn more about our mission and impact is a great first step in exploring board service. Please contact Director of Development Jeff Patterson at 425-513-8213 ext. 133 or jpatterson@bridgeways.org to schedule a tour.

Mission Statement
Bridgeways provides services that promote improved quality-of-life for individuals who live with mental illness, in a manner that facilitates growth, independence, and a sense of community.
Description
Bridgeways is a private not-for-profit corporation. Established in 1981, Bridgeways provides services that promote quality-of-life for individuals who live with mental illness.
Mental illness touches the lives of nearly one in four people. Ignored, it leads to homelessness, financial devastation, broken families, and suicide - all at a great cost to our community.
Our goal is to bring a sense of growth and independence to those with mental illness. We offer hope and a personal connection throughout the journey, while building practical skills for long-term success.
Bridgeways’ success is based on our integrated, three prong approach:
- Personalized supportive services
- Life-skills development through housing and job placement
- A manufacturing arm that offers both client employment and financial support for the organizations ongoing mission
Because we are nimble, highly responsive and offer a deep level of expertise in this field, we can help our partners and clients achieve lasting results....adapting fluidly to their individual needs and goals along the path.
We are collaborative, solutions-oriented, and devoted to our partners’ success.
