By signing below, I indicate that I understand the following:
Participation:
• Participation in Community Works Project (CWP) activities has been mandated by my DHS Family Coach.
• I must complete assigned hours or alert my Employment & Engagement Specialist and/or Family Coach if I am unable to do so for any reason.
Contact with CWP:
• I will be contacted regularly by my Employment & Engagement Specialist and possibly other CWP team members to discuss my progress, my attendance, my goals, and for possible referrals to other services. I understand I may also reach out to my Employment & Engagement Specialist or others at CWP as needed.
• I will be contacted by my Employment & Engagement Specialist for up to 3 months after exiting CWP. When I exit CWP for a job, I will be asked to provide information about this new job, and I will be able to contact my Employment & Engagement Specialist or other CWP team members for guidance and assistance in those first three months of employment.
Satisfaction with services:
• I can ask to see the CWP Program Manager if I feel I am being treated unfairly or if I have other concerns that cannot be addressed by my Employment & Engagement Specialist. I may also be asked to complete short anonymous feedback surveys to help CWP improve services.
Information sharing & Referrals:
• CWP is contracted by DHS and as such, shares information regarding its participants with DHS Family Coaches and Managers, as needed.
• CWP is a collaborative project of Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization (IRCO), and Our Just Future (OJF). To receive CWP services, my information is shared within the CWP team.
• I will be asked for permission before CWP refers me for services outside of CWP, to one of the CWP consortium nonprofit agencies or to other service providers.
