Bridges Academy
Bend, OR

Bridges Academy is proud to announce that our Mentor Staff Archie Hamilton (who is also currently in college for his CADC II certification) is working with our local T.V. news station KOHD morning anchor Allison Martin and the Resource Officer for the Bend high schools, Mike Maunder, to create a new video for "Inside Looking Out." (This program used to be called "Scared Straight").

It is a great way to inform teens all around the state about how to stay out of trouble and/or once they make poor choices how to turn it around. Archie, and the other great guys who are helping, share their strength and hope and courage so teens can learn from their mistakes. What a great message their lives give to help others! Our teens really listen when they hear these guy's heartfelt and very personal presentations to our community.

Archie is a great inspiration to our teens here at Bridges Academy and we are happy other teens around the state (and soon perhaps around all 50 states!) will also benefit from his life experience and hard won wisdom.
