Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Orange, CA

Total Budget: $2,400

Area of Focus: Economic and community development

Activity Type: Education: General

Summary: The project is a joint effort between the Sunrise Newport Beach and Working Wardrobes. Each partner plays a critical role in providing support for residents in recovery at the Salvation Army as they attempt to reenter the workforce following treatment.


The Salvation Army provides the clients who are all male residents of their facility in Anaheim. Their ages range from 18 to 55 and all are enrolled in the Salvation Army's Work Therapy program. Each Saturday for six to eight weeks, at the Anaheim facility, three to four Success Coaches from the Newport Beach Rotary club conduct 90-minute workshops designed to teach and build confidence in the clients for their upcoming job search. Following the final workshop, a small graduation ceremony is held and each client who completed the workshop series is awarded a certificate from Working Wardrobes and a plaque from the Sunrise Newport Beach Rotary Club to remind them that our club members are all behind them. For many of these men, it is the very first "training" they have ever completed.

The results from this project will be carried on for a lifetime for some of these men. For others, it will take some more time. Not all attempts at recovering from drugs, alcohol and felony convictions meet with success the first time.
