The ACBL Educational Foundation will be offering BridgeWhiz, year 2 of their online Basic Bridge for youth initiative, based on the teaching model developed by Bridge for Youth in Seattle, starting OCT 17, 2022. This class will be offered online to students grades 4-12 anywhere in North America, using the 20-lesson curriculum developed and validated by Bridge for Youth. Classes are offered once per week from 4:00 to 5:30 PM in all time Zones. We anticipate sufficient student registration to support classes Monday through Thursday and Saturday.
