Vocational Training
While in The Bridge 12-month minimum Recovery Program, residents have the awesome opportunity to learn a trade & life skills that they can use after graduation. Through our work program, residents learn how to function sober day after day with a strict routine. This serves three purposes:
Receive training to provide job skills and stability for themselves and their families upon graduation from the program.
(Prov. 14:23 / 2 Thess. 3:10).
Builds self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment in the area of work ethics.
(Phil. 2:29 / Prov. 13:19).
Helps to provide some of the necessary income the Ministry needs to continue serving others.
