Greeters needed to welcome youth at The Bridge!

Save to Favorites

The Greeter is part of a pool of 4 - 6 volunteers who are central to the organization’s goal of creating a community at The Bridge that is welcoming, impactful, and safe for staff and youth. This begins in the lobby /main entrance where the Greeter warmly welcomes youth, staff, and all visitors to The Bridge.

The Greeter is the youth’s first interaction with The Bridge, and plays a key role in beginning to build safe youth/adult relationships, connecting youth to program staff in the Youth Response Center (YRC), and helps meet the immediate needs of youth - water, food, blanket, clothing, etc. The Greeter invests in a culture that builds trust, community, and environment that is mired in justice and equity. Additionally, the Greeter builds staff capacity by assisting with supportive tasks - mail and package dissemination, transcribing notes from meetings, data entry, scanning files, preparing materials, etc.
