The Building Bridges Leadership Academy (BBLA) is designed for young adult and adult allies who are interested in volunteering for CCEJ's youth programs.
**PLEASE NOTE: This training is only for adults over 18 and out of high school. Individuals interested in becoming Youth Leaders for Building Bridges Camps must attend the Summer Youth Leadership Institute, a separate program.**
Young adults interested in becoming Youth Mentors must attend this program to be eligible to return to camp.
The training provides participants with the necessary knowledge and skills that are needed when working with any of CCEJ's youth programs.
