Bridge Teen Center Brings Back Popular 'Girls' Night In' Event

ORLAND PARK, IL — The Bridge Teen Center will host their Girls’ Night In event on Friday, April 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. at their center located at 15555 S. 71st Court in Orland Park.

This year’s event will include a number of intentionally designed special activities, an array of curated food samples, and an inspirational and interactive message from the Founder of The Bridge Teen Center.

“We are excited to host this special event to speak truth and encouragement to the young ladies that attend,” said Priscilla Steinmetz, Founder and Executive Director of The Bridge Teen Center. “We want to walk alongside our students and provide them with practical tools that will help them overcome common challenges and rise up and be the best version of themselves.”

As an organization that was founded and led by a woman, The Bridge Teen Center has always had a special commitment to investing in the lives of the young ladies. Over the last 15+ years, The Bridge Teen Center has established a tradition of offering free intentionally designed programs and exceptional events that have taught hundreds of young ladies how to love themselves, understand the true meaning of beauty, and so much more.

This year’s Girls’ Night In event will be the first event since the pandemic. Historically, this event has always been a highly anticipated annual event. Like previous years, no detail will be left out. A team of female staff members and volunteers have been working hard behind the scenes to make this event impactful and unforgettable. Plus, all attendees will leave with a special keepsake, a goodie bag of free stuff, and some great memories.

“We are excited to bring back Girls’ Night In this year, and to witness how it will continue to engage, connect and empower the young ladies we are privileged to serve,” said Steinmetz.
