Volunteer Project Catalog
Koreatown Youth and Community Center
KYCC’s BRIDGE volunteer program, located at our Wilton site, aims to close the gaps in academic, social, and emotional growth in our elementary and middle school students by recruiting, training, and placing high school volunteers who will work directly with our students in our K-8th grade afterschool programs. Bridge provides high school students with the opportunity to earn community service hours while gaining hands-on experience in various classroom settings. Volunteers can choose from multiple days, shifts, and classrooms to fit their schedules. In addition to volunteering opportunities, the program offers engaging field trips, allowing participants to explore new environments and enhance their learning. This program is a great way for students to give back to their community, develop valuable skills, and make meaningful connections! The Bridge Program is not currently taking new applications for Fall 2025, If you would like to be added to the waitlist for Spring 2026, please email bridge.kycc@gmail.com. Please feel free to reach out to Jackie Aguirre (jaguirre@kyccla.org), and/or the Bridge Gmail (bridge.kycc@gmail.com) if you have any questions or need any assistance.
