The Bridge for Youth — Local services in Minneapolis

The Bridge for Youth is an outstanding resource for the community! Along with help to shelter homeless youth of the Twin Cities, they have grown over the years to offer so much more than just that. It is a safe, clean, relaxed environment where youth can go to find the resources they need to get off the streets. They offer case management to help navigate the resources that are out there and for youth, and will hopefully become an incredible asset for you or the person you know that could really use the help of their non-judgmental services. Do yourself a favor and contact them rightaway, it might just be the best thing out there for those that need it and it wouldn't hurt just to give them a call and see if it's right for you. I'm writing this review with firsthand knowledge, take my advice and give them a call, it could change your life for the better as I know it has for someone I know, and countless other young adults who had found themselves on the streets and didn't know were to go or who they could turn to for help. They partner with many other organizations who's goal is to see youth succeed in this game called life! Oh and if this review was helpful please give it a thumbs up so that I know itactually reached someone, thanks, and I decided to include a couple nighttime photos of the Bridge because let's face it, that's the time of day where we would be thinking about where are we gonna lay our head tonight! I wish you luck on your journey, I know it's hard at times, just try to keep your head up and do your best to get through whatever challenges life presents you with, and smile because you just found a great resource to help with some of them challenges! Thanks for reading, I hope this...

I was there a couple of months ago , I’m 16 and pregnant they have a tlp program i was about to get into before i got kicked out for having an altercation with another youth , the staff are cool wished they would take mental health serious tho , the food is alright not a 5 star meal but your still at a shelter , but the one thing i did dislike was that If you didn’t want to go on an outing they’ll say you might be exited from the program but the cool part about the outings they have petty cash that they’ll spend on the youth , they provide clothes , they have and upstairs for teen moms it’s takes a little while to get up there if your still early in your pregnancy so you’ll have to be with other youth on the main floor , but otherwise it was a great experience for me besides the outings staff were pretty cool and understanding when it was necessary, and I recommend going here if your experiencing homelessness or if your a homeless teen mother go on ysn and look for available beds or just do a pop up...

Wow... it's changed so much. I just searched on a whim and wanted to rate and share my experience. I was a Bridge resident almost 25 years ago, then I was in Bridge aftercare, and then continued on with them as a volunteer peer educator with the residential kids and TAMS for a year after that, all while doing occasional night or two stints in the shelter care program. The Bridge gave me what I needed, and made me a better person. It was the Bridge that first inspired me to serve my community, and although I left Minnesota long ago, I've continued some form of volunteer work ever since....
