Staff and volunteers from the Bridge Ministry will visit the local jails to share information about the Bridge Ministry program and conduct interviews with potential students. Men accepted into The Bridge Ministry program cannot have a record that includes violent or sexually-related crimes. Men who abide by the rules and regulations of The Bridge Ministry program, and, in the judgment of the staff are making suitable progress, can live in the dormitory up to 18 months at the Buckingham Campus. The client may also be offered the opportunity to spend the last 6 months of the program at a Bridge Ministry Intern House in Charlottesville while transitioning back into the community. The program provides an intense schedule of Bible training, character instruction, work training, drug counseling, financial management skills and educational opportunities.
