Why we do what we do

Founded in 2000, The RIDGE Project offers programs, resources, training and case management to men and women involved in Ohio’s justice system.

Since then, we have been able to procure millions of state, federal and philanthropic funding to help Ohio become the standard for Rehabilitation and re-entry services.
