The Setting: Hurricane, Utah

Our in-town location gives us an opportunity for another kind of community that is unusual for residential treatment facilities. The town of Hurricane, Utah is a manageable community that has reached out to support our girls and the work we do at Sunrise. Here are some of the things we love about the Hurricane community and how we leverage this great resource for our girls' healing and growth:

Community Service

  • Sunrise teen girls participate on the Hurricane Beautification Committee on a regular basis.
  • Sunrise was awarded the Mayors Award for the excellent service our students have provided to Hurricane, UT.
  • Sunrise girls volunteer on a regular basis at the local day care, rehabilitation center, welfare farm and cannery, at local triathlons, food drives, and fairs.
  • Students have been employed at Lin's Supermarket, as well as local restaurants, learning critical life skills in an authentic environment.
  • Nearby Washington City has an annual Cotton Days festival that our girls volunteer and help out with.
