Bridges of America has a 35-year successful history as the oldest criminal justice substance abuse treatment provider for adult male and female offenders in the State of Florida. Our programs are established on the holistic approach to recovery, predicated on the 12-Step Model. We provide thousands of felony offenders the opportunity for rehabilitation and reintegration into their communities as law-abiding and tax-paying citizens. Bridges of America owns and operates therapeutic community transition centers, work releases facilities, and court-ordered drug treatment programs throughout the State.
We are looking for men and women who believe people can change. The Broward County Bridge Transition Center and Work Release gives men the opportunity to get their lives back on track through substance abuse treatment, education, vocation, and reentry skills. While we have a complete multidisciplinary staff, we are looking for volunteers who can tutor men in our Adult Basic Education and GED classes. You will work closely with the on-site Chaplain to determine the opportunity that best fits your skill set.
The men at the Broward Bridge are DOC inmates at the lowest custody level (community) who will be reentering society as productive, tax-paying citizens in 24 months or less.
We are looking for leaders to help facilitate family ministries/skills training. We will provide the training and certification, as well as the oversight.
You will work with our Chaplain to determine the best placement for your skill set. All volunteers must pass a background check through the Florida Department of Corrections.
