The positive impact of equipping and empowering youth with Bridge Street Ministries (10-12-24)

WYCE's Community Connection (*conversations concerning issues of importance in West Michigan)

On this week's episode, WYCE Station Manager Phil Tower speaks with Ryan Waalkes, the founder and executive director of Bridge Street Ministries

Ryan joined us to discuss the origins of Bridge Street Ministries' program and its focus on discipleship and youth development, especially for middle schoolers with “high potential.”

The mission statement of Bridge Street Ministries states, “We believe young people are image bearers of God with inherent value and the capacity to cultivate thriving within their communities. Our programs reflect this, focusing on equipping and empowering youth throughout their middle school, high school, and post-high school years."
