HeroBridge vs Collective Network

HeroBridge is a first of its kind, safe, private, social media community designed to empower transitioning age youth (TAY) who have aged-out of their local foster system. HeroBridge connects TAY to a broad range of peer mentorship and informed life skill resources that are provided by qualified local mentorship organizations. Through rich social, learning and life-skill media resources the HeroBridge virtual community is a private, lively place where youth and mentors can find each other and georeferenced resources 24x7. The proven results are TAY who are socially, emotionally and vocationally equipped for a fulfilling life! Designed to be a peer kinship community for life, members can reliably and consistently find a positive social support community, tracked learning opportunities and life enrichment activities. All in a safe, private and ad free web and mobile app environment. Accessed through referral, HeroBridge empowers eligible TAY and qualified mentors with 1,000's of videos, articles, feeds, courses and even livestream events. Eligible TAY can access the critical need-to-knows of adult life, as well as find educational/vocational life skill tracks, peer interest groups, live events, sports and hobbies they can become passionate about. No young adult should ever be alone and without support in America, and with HeroBridge on their laptop, iPad or mobile device, they never have to be ever again. Are you a TAY service or benefit provider interested in making your services available to our community for free? Just download the app and follow the instructions to learn more!
