The purpose of CWJCsm, a non-profit organization, is to provide life and job readiness skills for women with a Christian context.  The program is designed for a classroom model with one on one mentoring.  Some of the life and job skills this session were :  GED, SAT, drivers' license preparation, keyboarding, anger/stress management, money management, parenting skills, health and hygiene, make-up tips and how to dress for the work place.  Work Force Solutions held a job readiness workshop and also helped with GED preparation.

Volunteers are very special people and are crucial to the success of the program.  They provide encouragement, instruction, refreshments and other needs.  CWJCsm appreciates every church that gives an offering, provides gift bags, prays or volunteers in any way.  For a participant application or information about volunteering, call Linda Raney in Silsbee at 409-373-4035 or Juana Matthews in Jasper at 409-584-2558.

 What happens in a typical CWJCsm twelve week program?

Women receive training in life skills and job readiness, such as preparation for GED or help in getting a driver's license.  Often, computer skills are taught as well.  Each session is customized to meet the needs of the participants and many topics of interest are offered to help with self improvement needs such as anger management, money management, stress management, health and hygiene and personal appearance improvement.

What makes CWJCsm different from other job-readiness programs?

Each participant is involved in Bible study

Participants are also matched with a trained Christian woman who will be a mentor as the participant travels the road from dependency to self-sufficiency

There is absolutely NO cost involved to the participant
