The mission of the Austin Leadership Board is to be a resource for the growing Austin Bridge Family, and to help foster relationships between communities. The Leadership Board will debut in Austin for the fall of 2025, and we are thrilled to be getting this program started. We are looking for current high school student-athletes to join our inaugural year and to help us grow our reach and impact for our East Austin youth.

 

class of 2025-2026

We are thrilled to announce the inaugural Bridge Austin Leadership Board! We are seeking out applicants to participate in our first year and class. In the fall, members will commit to an 8-10 week season, where they serve as coaches and instructors for our fall ball youth season. Programs will operate on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings. Leadership Board members will serve as primary instructors and coaches for grades K-8. In the spring and summer, members are welcome to participate in spring clinics and other events, though the largest commitments exist in the fall.

Benefits

As a Leadership Board member, you will be part of an exclusive group of volunteers that understand the value of investing in youth, and building community. Members will receive leadership and coaching training to ensure they are effective leaders and role models. All service hours will be signed off by Bridge and a letter of recommendation for service may also be available. A Leadership Board member can expect to receive up to 10-20 hours of service hours. You will play a pivotal role in the growth of the sport as well as sharing your love for the sport with those from our Bridge Family community.
