History
The Bridge Teen Center is a nonprofit teen center located in Orland Park that exclusively serves students in 7th through 12th grade. Programs at The Bridge are offered free of charge, and are designed to help students develop mentally, physically, and emotionally in a safe environment. Since opening in June of 2010, more than 6,000 hours of free programming have been provided to 700 different teenagers from the Orland Park area in this afterschool program.
Priscilla Steinmetz, founder and executive director of The Bridge Teen Center, was recently selected to serve as 2011-2012 Afterschool Ambassador. Priscilla is one of only 20 local leaders from 17 states chosen for this honor.
