Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Search the certified residence directory on the group's site for a house near you, or email f.way@parronline.org to ask about membership or the scholarship..
What to expect
There is no drop-in group or meeting to attend. The public part of the work is the directory and the scholarship notices, and the membership and certification routes are for recovery house operators.
Tips for your first visit
- Use the directory first, but call the house to confirm, because the directory page warns that addresses and phone numbers change often.
- Check the home page for the scholarship notice, which says the scholarship is available in 2026 through The Bridge Foundation.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The directory and scholarship notices are public, but membership and certification run through applications. The pages do not give the cost, who may apply, or the deadlines..
