Monterey Bridge Educational Foundation

The mission of the Monterey Bridge Educational Foundation is to promote and support the game of bridge in the Monterey Peninsula area by providing lessons that will draw in new players, helping existing players improve their knowledge through lessons and mentoring, and providing safe dedicated facilities to play the game, thereby enhancing community relations and goodwill and contributing to the longevity and well-being of the community. 

Bridge lessons for beginners are offered periodically and there is an ongoing mentoring program that pairs experienced players with those new to the game. Information about the next series of lessons can be found here. Bridge games and lessons are held on the premises of the Monterey Bridge Club, which is the home of Unit 530 of District 21 of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), and is located at:
