Who We Are
The Neighborhood Bridge is a nonprofit that was created in 2023 to help residents on the West Side of Chicago reach their full potential by connecting them to available human services in the area. We are partnering with existing, high-quality providers who deliver a range of services, including but not limited to:
Primary and mental healthcare
Housing assistance
Financial counseling and household budgeting
Job training
Computer competency
Violence Prevention
A particular focus will be on serving families of students from the Austin neighborhood attending our partner schools: St. Catherine-St. Lucy, St. Angela, Chicago Jesuit Academy, Catalyst Circle Rock, and Christ the King College Preparatory School.
We will begin training our first cohort of volunteer Advocates in January. For more information about this volunteer opportunity, download our Advocate Handout or contact jeanne.gallo@theneighborhoodbridge.org.
We are also looking for volunteers to help with cleaning and painting the lower level of the former St. Catherine-St. Lucy rectory. If you’re interested in signing up, complete our volunteer form here.
