Event Details

The Bridgewatch Angels will dedicate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to saving lives on the Golden Gate Bridge. they are seeking compassionate volunteers to greet everyone with smiles while bringing hope to those feeling depressed and suicidal. Their primary focus will be to positively engage individuals on the bridge who are walking alone, displaying negative body posture, or lingering mid-span.

The Golden Gate Bridge remains the number one suicide destination in the world. In 2016, 39 people died jumping off the bridge. Another 184 came to the bridge to end their lives but were stopped by the CHP, Bridge District Police, and the Bridgewatch Angels volunteers.

The Bridgewatch schedule for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be 10 am to 2 pm. Please indicate which day you will volunteer by selecting a Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day free ticket. Please include your email so you can receive the logistical information and training to prepare you for the day.

At 10am on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, Mia Munayer and the Bridgewatch Angels trainers will greet you in front of the Bridge Cafe (San Francisco Welcome Center). A mandatory orientation will begin promptly at 10am so they ask you to arrive 30 minutes early to park and use the facilities/purchase snacks.
