“Building Bridges Mentoring Program through the Berwick Parks and Recreation Department matches kids (ages of 9-12) with caring, supportive adult mentors for one year. Volunteering and giving—of your time, talent or treasure- has been shown to light up the reward circuits in the brain. It actually has a positive physical affect on our bodies! There is a link between volunteering and improved mental health.”

- Shannon Rogers (Program Coordinator, Berwick Parks & Rec)

“What an opportunity to work with some truly selfless people to better the lives of our youth! This project was a behind-the-scenes look at the positive impact mentoring has on children, what a great program! ”

- Stephen (Founder, Buoy Creative)
