The Bridge for Youth is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, focused on addressing youth homelessness in the Twin Cities. It centers youth voice and equity in its work and provides shelter, basic needs, and healthy relationships to young people experiencing homelessness. The organization operates a range of youth-centered programs, including a 24/7 Youth Response Center and several shelters and housing options for pregnant or parenting youth and their children. Specific offerings include Resilience House for emergency shelter and services for ages 10-17; Gloria’s Place for pregnant or parenting homeless youth (15-17) and their children; Marlene’s Place for pregnant or parenting homeless youth (16-20) and their children; and Rita’s House for youth (18-21), along with Outreach & Support Services. The Bridge aims to create a community where all youth feel safe, accepted, and supported by addressing immediate needs and providing pathways toward stability and independence. In 2026 the organization announced a partnership with the Youth Law Center to explore topics such as court processes, self-advocacy, and emancipation.
