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.

To learn more about our youth bridge programs, offered at no charge to the

participating youth, contact Susan Koster at 201-529-8083 or

North Jersey Youth Bridge is looking for teachers, assistants, supplies and

volunteers to help manage our programs.
