The I WILL Program (Initiative for Work, Independence, Learning & Living)
At Remember Wellness, we serve individuals who are rebuilding their lives—often after experiences of instability, trauma, addiction, and housing insecurity. Many come to us ready for a fresh start, but without immediate employment or the resources to find work on their own.
The I WILL Program exists to meet that exact moment—with structure, care, and encouragement.
This 30-day track offers residents who are not yet employed a supportive foundation from which they can pursue work while staying deeply connected to their recovery and personal growth.
Why This Matters
Finding employment early in recovery is a big step—and for many, it can also be a trigger for disconnection, exhaustion, or relapse. Without support, that first job can feel overwhelming or isolating. That’s why the I WILL Program is intentionally designed to help residents integrate employment into their recovery—not as a distraction from healing, but as part of it.
This program helps residents practice balance, build confidence, and take ownership of both their responsibilities and their wellness.
Program Overview
We only accept two residents at a time into the I WILL Program to ensure each person receives individualized support.

Our Approach
At Remember Wellness, we believe that people deserve more than just a place to sleep—they deserve the chance to remember who they are. The I WILL Program helps residents reconnect to their sense of purpose, gain momentum, and move toward greater stability—not just economically, but emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
This program reflects our values of Empowerment, Holistic Wellbeing, Inclusivity, Resilience, Integrity, and Growth.
