to achieve positive results and future success.
"Our three honorees are prominent leaders in
their field who are doing a great service by
becoming involved with Outreach Project and
helping to promote the cause of addiction," said
Kathleen Riddle, president of Outreach Project.
"Each has committed time and resources to help
us with awareness and fundraising. We're
grateful for their contribution to this
important cause."
Outreach Project is a non-profit organization
dedicated to helping those (especially
teenagers, women and women with children)
struggling to break free from addiction, and
options to help them turn their lives around.
With locations in Queens, Brooklyn and Suffolk
County, Outreach offers outpatient and
residential programming for teens, intensive
daytime treatment for women and women with
children and adult outpatient treatment services

operates a New York State-approved training
institute with a 350-hour diploma program for
those seeking to become Credentialed Alcoholism
Substance Abuse Counselors. This program is the

scholarships for veterans who want to train to
be counselors.
