Whether you’re wondering what it’s like to run a company, work in finance, go to med school, or pursue a legal career, Bridge lets you connect with parents and alumni from your high school who can answer your questions!
You’ll also have the chance to pursue externships or internships with some of the people you meet!
Building relationships is essential for success in any career—why wait until college to start making connections? Bridge makes it easy to start growing your network with people in your very own school community!
It’s ok to not have it all “figured out.” In fact, that’s a good thing! We created Bridge to help you learn more about different career paths, identify what you like (and what you don’t), and get information to start charting your path through college and beyond. You’re here to explore—just be yourself!
Internships are a fantastic way to gain work experience, explore your interests, and maybe even earn a little extra money! No matter where your interests are—in startups, law, medicine, or somewhere else—Bridge connects you with adults in your school community who can help start identifying what you’re passionate about.

As many as you’d like. But, remember, always be respectful of their time.
Nope! Part of the value of an internship is the chance to experiment—to take a risk and try something new!Don’t worry if you don’t have prior work experience; communicate with the parent, ask about their expectations, explain your skill set, and go from there.
Life happens—high school is a busy time, and sometimes it’s just not feasible to take on more responsibilities while playing sports or studying for standardized tests. Always be proactive about communicating with parents/alumni. Let them know your situation and see if you can work something out!
