Transition Program Coordinators

Each resident is assigned to a Transition Program Coordinator. The Transition Program Coordinator will create a personal plan for services for the resident. This will help the resident have a positive stay at the Center, and a successful transition (change over) back into the community. The resident and the Transition Program Coordinator create a plan together that meets the resident’s needs, and that follows the conditions and rules of their supervision.

Transition Program Coordinator monitor (watch over) what residents do in the Center and in the community. After the first “blackout” period of 7-14 days, Transition Program Coordinator can approve passes to go out into the community for things like jobs, job searching, treatment, clean and sober support meetings, faith-based activities, social passes, and other activities. Transition Program Coordinator and staff will explain the eligibility for (who is able to get) passes. Eligibility for passes follows WCCCC rules, policies and procedures.

Transition Program Coordinator can also help residents to get an Oregon identification card and/or a social security card, which they will need for a job.

Residents will work to search for and get jobs during their time at the Center. They will go through an Employment (Job) Services program that will help them write resumes, go to interviews, and keep going to jobs while they are at the Center. After a resident gets a job, their employer (boss or business owner) must call the Center to give information about the job and schedule to their counselor.
