CURRENT PROJECT

Clean Sweep - Fresh Start is a pilot project designed to provide clean shores of Narragansett Bay while partnering our current staff with recent parolees. This program will provide temporary employment, training, and better re-entry opportunities for local parolees and underserved members of the community while simultaneously working to make Narragansett Bay one of the cleanest shorelines in America.

A successful pilot program could create very positive change in the trajectory of Narragansett Bay for the next generation and a shoreline that could be easily and cost-effectively perpetually cleaned each year. It would also generate life-changing results for local re-entry individuals by providing them with more robust opportunities and momentum towards a successful re-entry transition.

Our goals are:

• Remove 400 tons of debris from the Shoreline of Narragansett Bay.
• Provide data and success stories from the re-entry team members to educate others about the importance of successful re-entry programs.
• Provide training certificates in labor, landscape, jobsite safety, and seamanship for re-entry team members.
• Provide a solid start and great recommendations for re-entry team members.
