From FORDO: "The Rural Recovery Development Opportunities and Career Services (RR-DOCS) program at FOR-DO is possible through the Appalachian Regional Commission’s INSPIRE Initiative which granted us program funding. #RRDOCS is also possible because of the incredible partnerships with CDO Workforce and Chenango Health Network that help us connect individuals in need of employment with training opportunities and businesses in need of employees. Our partners lay the foundation for communication and open doors all while supporting FOR-DO and the individuals in our recovery programs."
If you are a person in recovery and are looking to participate in this program, or if you are a business looking to become a Recovery Friendly Workplace, contact Brendan Murphy at 607-386-2235 or brendan@friendsofrecoverydo.org.
