Christian Women’s Job Corps (CWJC) was founded by the National Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) in Birmingham, AL, as a means of identifying, training and mentoring women trapped in poverty, abuse and alienation. More than 130 CWJC sites across America provide job skills, social skills and help build self-worth in women who otherwise might never have a chance.
National CWJC was represented on former Vice President Gore’s welfare-to-work national task force. Locally, CWJC’s training programs are reinforced by women mentors who commit themselves to work one-on-one with a woman until she reaches a level of independenceand acceptance in the job marketplace.
One of the unique offerings in CWJC’s training and mentoring is the included Bible study program. This is designed to give a woman the big picture of creation, the Creator’s design for theworld, and the value of every human being in relation to God and fellow humans.It is not the goal of CWJC to change a woman’s faith, but compassion for every person is an overriding priniciple built into the program.
CWJC of Greater Arlington, while associated with the National CWJC, is a separate 501-c3 non-profit organization chartered in the State of Texas and has its own executive director and board of directors.
The integrated curriculum of CWJC equips the whole person; body, mind, and spirit. It’s little wonder that miraculous stories emanate from the women who have been directly touched by CWJC and those who selflessly serve the cause.
