NVoIALIZillo. Nval ACIIA01)CS <br /> April 1, 2025 <br /> Sandy Barba, WDB Staff <br /> City of Santa Ana—Santa Ana WDB <br /> 801 W. Civic Center Drive, Suite 200 <br /> Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> RE: Attachment K- Letter of Support from Employers <br /> Dear Ms. Barba: <br /> In lieu of formal letters of support from prospective employers who will serve as partners providing paid <br /> work experiences for youth participating in our proposed Rebuilding Careers for Young Adults program, I <br /> would like to share that, although formal employer partners have not yet been finalized, Working <br /> Wardrobes has initiated preliminary discussions with a range of prospective work sites and employers <br /> across various industries who are prepared to serve this role should we be awarded the proposed grant. <br /> If awarded funding, Working Wardrobes is willing to submit formal Letters of Commitment from <br /> participating work site partners to the City of Santa Ana, confirming their active support and participation <br /> in this critical program component. <br /> To secure a wide variety of robust placement opportunities, we will leverage our Board of Directors—who <br /> represent diverse industries across Orange County—along with our established corporate partners and <br /> prominent funders in sectors such as healthcare and finance. Included with this letter is our Board of <br /> Directors roster, which demonstrates the breadth of industries represented. <br /> Additionally, we will work to ensure that host site placements include regional hospitals, logistics <br /> companies, IT service providers, and additional businesses aligned with participants' goals. Coupled with <br /> the paid work experience opportunities to be made available to participants within our social enterprise <br /> division, these work site partnerships will enable us to provide well-rounded, real-world experiences that <br /> prepare young adults for meaningful and stable employment. <br /> We are energized by the momentum this initiative is already generating and are confident that, with <br /> funding from the City of Santa Ana, we can provide transformative opportunities for out-of-school youth <br /> in Santa Ana, positioning them for long-term success. Thank you for your consideration and for your <br /> ongoing commitment to creating opportunities for young people in our community. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 1 t1_V., <br /> Bonni Pomush <br /> Chief Executive Officer <br /> 2000 E. McFadden Ave. • Santa Ana, CA 92705 • (714) 210-2460 + www.workingwardrobes.org <br />
