Company Profile:
The Ridge Project, Inc. is an industry leader in the human services field.  Founded in 2000 as a faith-based, Christian, non-profit, The RIDGE Project specializes in Youth Intervention, Fatherhood, Healthy Relationship, Healthy Family, and Workforce Development services.  We currently operate throughout the state of Ohio. 
Through our unique and cutting-edge programs, we seek to end generational cycles of family disintegration by training clients to have strong, healthy and permanent marriages, and to be responsible citizens and role models in their schools, families and/or communities. We are seeking well-qualified individuals who are passionate about strengthening families.

  • The Case Manager Facilitator will be trained in the Leadership, Parenting, Marriage, Communication, and Family Strengthening programming we offer and will then teach those programs to incarcerated individuals in correctional facilities across the state. 
  • The Case Manager/Facilitator will coordinate supportive services like Family Programming, Jobs Skills Training, Education, and other resources to assist clients in their personal development and re-entry back into society.
  • The Case Manager/Facilitator will assist the Project Director in expanding and developing relationships that will expand and enhance services provided to clients.
