- It is an easy way to bridge yourself to various
community groups. Just search the site, find
something interesting, and send us your
information. You will be contacted regarding your
choices made as well as have the option of being
invited to The Bridge's special programs and
events held at MIT or in the community.
- Find community service groups that you may not
have heard of but provide creative solutions for
helping the community. The MIT Grooves have made
it a duty to seek out community service groups
who are unique, and/or are in desperate need of
help, have no resources to advertise, and offer
new solutions for helping the community.
- Get a chance to share your community service idea
with the MIT Grooves. You may need help
implementing a community service project and are
not sure where to start. We hope to be of direct
service or atleast refer you to groups who can
get you started.
- Using BRIDGE, you will eventually start feeling
good about yourself and your community as you
begin to solidify the union between yourself and
community groups. It always gives personal reward
when an individual feels he has contributed to
some large effort. Furthermore, amidst the many
problems in our communities, you will begin to
feel hope because of the team effort you will
make along with the many volunteers that provide
service in the area.
- Submitting your information begins an effort to
strengthen your community in numerous ways. When
you make first contact with your community groups
of choice, you will begin on a journey to provide
people with skills to attain jobs which helps the
economy, work with kids from crime-ridden
neighborhoods which make our streets safer and
gives our kids needed skills to survive, clean up
parks and neighborhoods which provide for a
higher quality of life for all, and the list goes
on. And these benefits not only help others but
you as well!
- Participating in The Bridge's programs and
information share with others gives you a chance
to contribute positively with others that you are
close to in a bonding experience. Together the
group also learns the benefit of sacrifice,
tolerance, the knowledge that one person can make
a difference, and that there a better things to
do with the time spent idling around.
- Hopefully beginning to bridge yourself to
community groups will give you a base from which
to start community projects yourself, something
which you may have wanted to do but never had the
motivation. You may also get a chance to talk to
community leaders about community problems,
giving you a better chance of what each
individual community needs to thrive.
