Community Building

Community building and involvement is the bedrock to our foundation at Pura Vida Recovery. When people walk into the doors of PVR they are often alone, uncomfortable, sick, frightened, disconnected, and lost. This is the nature of addiction. We believe that by building a community, individuals find a sense of purpose and hope among their peers. This is truly when change begins and amazing things start to happen.

PVR offers extensive volunteer opportunities within our organization. This is one of our main ways of community building. We currently have over 20 volunteers. One of our core values is meeting people where they are, based off that we find the appropriate place for each individual within our organization.

We also believe whole heartily in volunteering and community involvement outside of PVR. This is why we have created a volunteer committee for outside projects, so our PVR community can better serve the community of Spokane and surrounding areas. In some cases addiction creates a rift among individuals and the larger community in which they live. By giving back to their community people are often transformed and begin to feel included back into society.
