     The Bridge Avenue School (TBAS) is a small private Christian middle school
     on the near West Side of Cleveland, Ohio that serves previously unsuccessful
     students. The school focuses on reading, math, and science foundation building
     for students who have struggled in these areas. TBAS thrives on one-to-one
     tutoring. Students work daily with dedicated volunteer tutors who invest in
     their lives by providng reading and math practice and homework help.
     You can help!
  • You can become a student tutor - tutors are needed morning weekdays & afternoons.
  • You can provide administrative support of our fabulous reading teacher Susan
    McElwain. Due to increase in number of students, Susan could use help sorting

    with students.

      They specialize in quilts that provide love, a sense of security and warmth

      of a handmade blanket. Please put your sewing skills to good use and join 
      Bay Presbyterian's volunteer "blanketeers." All blankets are donated to the

 Join the children's ministry team. Consider volunteering with our
     children! We need people interested in growing and serving:
be a
     special buddy to children with special needs,
love a small group of
     elementary or preschool aged children,
be on stage to teach or act
     or both, or help out behind the scenes. 
Most people come to faith
     when they are young - join the team and make a difference by
     pointing kids to Christ!
