North Jersey Youth Bridge
North Jersey Youth Bridge is an organization of youth bridge teachers associated with the non-profit North Jersey Bridge Association, an affiliate of the American Contract Bridge League. This group was formed to bring bridge to youth in North Jersey and Rockland County, NY.We offer a fully funded program to teach bridge to youth in schools, libraries and community centers. Widely regarded as the greatest sport of the mind, bridge has been well-received for its value in developing thinking, math and social skills as well as improving memory and concentration.
Bridge is a unique way of fostering social interaction and teamwork among youth. Students will develop self-reliance and enhance their social skills while building trust and confidence with a partner. They will discover how to succeed, just as they would in any sports program. Moreover, there are no physical or socio-economic boundaries to learning bridge.
North Jersey Youth Bridge has a core of experienced bridge teachers ready to teach bridge to the youth in our communities. Lessons are usually 90 minutes for 8 to 9 weeks. All that is needed is a space for the lessons and support for bridge as an approved activity.
