It's a safe place where teens can study, learn new skills, or just hang with friends. They offer classes in topics such as cooking, sewing, archery, billiards, self-esteem, mechanics, technology just to name a few. They have a sound room connected to a stage where they can play live or work the sound room. Community service hours can be earned through Project Serve or Project Give (e.g.,working the thrift store, helping veterans, making dog beds). There are pool tables, ping pong, old school & newer video games, air hockey, and a study area. Additionally, certain Friday nights they have karaoke nights or DJing. The Bridge offers so much, you will need to visit their website to get a gist of their programs. In regards to safety, it's a little like Fort Knox which I love. Not just any adult can walk in, and you need to make an appointment to do a tour of the place not during the hours that the kids are present. This place is special and my son and his friends love it here.

Look at public photographs of leadership. Then look at the public photographs of clients. I have come to realize that any place where such a striking imbalance exist is likely not only underperforming but perhaps even hurting people. I can say conclusively that has been the intention in at least one case with Cara. My interaction with this organization was short-lived and occurred across five interviews for a position that paid less than $50k. I was taken through a series of ridiculous tests for a management position that included 40 mins designing a power point presentation (I had been a senior manager in an organization with 1100+ positions reporting up, a consultant, a celebrated NFP program director and a university instructor so PP has been part of my tech portfolio for years before Cara was even on the radar). While the front-end staff was pretty nice, I was dumbstruck in one of my meetings when the human resources functionary told me she could not believe I had done everything on my resume. I responded why take my word; call the employers and references. That should've been enough for me to walk away at that point but because I had already met some clients and staff that I would've enjoyed working with, I accepted the next (third) opportunity to interview. It wasn't until the last meeting, in which I met the current CEO, that I determined Cara has a sinister orientation and have since referred potential clients and donors elsewhere. My last interview featured what I came to realize was a really mean-spirited act of entrapment. The Asian woman deliberately provoked me. Now here's the deal ... this was my fifth interview for a job that paid HALF of my last full-time salary and it was at the peak of the last recession during which I am spending very limited funds on gas and dry cleaning to respond at a moment's notice to their interview requests. Obviously, I needed the job and this woman seemed to personally enjoy the success of her provocation. But after sharing my experience with a number of other people like me, I realized this woman particularly and the Cara leadership by extension have a problem with people like me. And I see this reflected in some of the Yelp reviews and have been told by former clients and supporters of fundraising activities. Good mission. Unethical leadership. At best.
