Partner with because I said I would to make an impact within your city limits.
Your Rotary Club can support people in your local community who have lost their jobs because of the pandemic. Our 6-week Unemployment Transition Program is to lead participants to life-sustaining employment while improving mental health outcomes during this stressful period. Your Rotary Club can fund scholarships to attend this program and provide financial support for their families. Participants will be engaged with peer-led support teams, career-hunting resources and eight leadership development workshops, all delivered online.
