Pressure juveniles to talk when they are not ready. Drake pressured a juvenile by saying "he would get it out of him one way or another." Juveniles do not need that kind of harassment!
I often refer clients from my office, mostly women, to The RIDGE, letting them know there may be services available to their incarcerated husbands/fathers of their children. Discovering there may be help available gives these women much needed hope! Having worked with Ron and Cathy Tijerina for many years, knowing the integrity of their commitment to serving these families thereby strengthening the greater communities in which they live or will return to, it gives me great pleasure to be able to help provide another source of encouragement, hope and help to my clients. The RIDGE is a unique organization that is setting the standard for agency cooperation and collaboration, and which is feeding life and strength into our communities.
When I volunteered for the RIDGE Project, I was welcomed as part of the family. The office is very organized and tasks are clearly defined. It's been awesome to have a small part in the "behind the scenes" work of strengthening families. No task is unimportant- and doing the little things frees up the others to minister to the clients more directly.
The extraordinary story behind the birth and blossoming of The Ridge Project is incredible. It truly is a blessing to see how individual lives are being help and changed by the education, support, encouragement and example of the leadership provided. The growth of this agency is vital to build healthy decision making to build stronger families!!
The RIDGE Project brings a unique blend of experience, professionalism, compassion, caring and vision to all that they do. The amazing results that they have experienced, both in their youth and adult divisions, speaks volumes about their heart for their clients and their careful and deliberate decision making with donor funds. I would highly recommend philanthropists and donors to seriously consider making The RIDGE Project, Inc. a high priority for your charitable investment.
I attended their open house and what an outstanding event. I was truly impressed with what this organization is able to do to serve their communities. The Ridge staff is so focused on helping others.
I went to the opening of the new RIDGE project facility and was moved to tears by those clients who spoke about how much help and hope for the future they now have. I already knew it was a wonderful organization, but had no idea how life-changing it is, and what a huge positive impact it has on our society by helping keep families together and teaching vocational and communication skills so those who were in prison and jail can be successfully reunited with their families, trained for jobs, and become contributing, responsible members of society. I support a number of nonprofits, but feel this is by far doing some of the most important work, and in a cost-effective, caring way.
The Ridge has been building a workforce unmatched, with Tyro dads abd Ridge Staffing -building a strong workforce that honors its employer, works hard for their families and has the motivation to overcome the :labels of society. Great place to wrk and grow. Ethics training that has been reshaping Ohio's work force in many businesses. What a great work and even better blessing to be a part of.
Dear Viewer,
I have been involved with many non-profits over the years. All of them include people with excellent hearts wanting to help.
What makes The Ridge standout is their culture of excellence and holding up a Christian standard for themselves, their clients and the public.
I see The Ridge as an outstanding organization and would confidently recommend anyone’s interest for involvement.
