Faces of 50

Celebrating 50 years of giving hope to runaway & homeless youth

2020 marked the 50th anniversary of The Bridge for Youth. To celebrate this anniversary, every month throughout the year we highlighted Faces of 50 recognizing some of the thousands of individuals who were impacted by The Bridge and who have contributed to our efforts to serve homeless and runaway youth.

Since 1970, The Bridge has given hope to runaway & homeless youth. Whether they are running from abuse, navigating the foster care system, or just need someone to talk to, The Bridge is here for all youth – without questions and without judgement.
