About

Bridges For Youth is a non-profit, faith-based after school program for kids 6-18 years of age.  We are located in Springfield, Missouri, where our five youth centers are crowded everyday with at-risk kids who just need someone to believe in them.  There are no fees for kids to use our centers and our survival is solely upon the generous hearts of people in our community who choose to keep us open with their financial donations.

“The love of Christ and a passion for helping kids succeed in life, all wrapped up in fun filled neighborhood youth centers.”

Pastor Steve Hare is the Executive Director of Bridges For Youth, and this blog is a reflection of what goes on in his mind.  Please enjoy!
