Ron and Catherine Tijerina are the founders of The RIDGE Project. They serve as co-executive directors of the national non-profit organization and the international TYRO curricula.
The RIDGE Project was created to serve families impacted by incarceration through direct services, family day events, youth programming, case management and professional development opportunities.
They are the authors of the book High Five, love never fails. Love Never Fails is both an engaging narrative and a blueprint for family success. The book begins with the Tijerina family sharing how they beat impossible odds to not only survive, but thrive. Next, the authors: Ron, Catherine, and Brandon Tijerina compellingly share the 5 principles that enabled them to overcome these unimaginable obstacles in order to help their readers build strong, resilient families like theirs.
