More about CWJC:

Since its formation in September of 2003, Christian Women’s Job Corps of McLennan County has helped equip women in Waco and surrounding areas with both job training and life skills. Through a six month long mentorship and an education program, we have encouraged women to be self-confident, self-sufficient, and productive while developing meaningful relationships.

Women who are alumni of the CWJC program are making a difference in McLennan County. Graduates are working in various fields such as office assistants, retail sales, medical, legal, mortuary, food service, call centers, apartment leasing, dog grooming, home health care, highway construction, warehouse, cleaning services, etc. Some examples of where CWJC alumni are employed are Veteran’s Administration, Waco Mortuary, MCC Adult Education, TSTC, Walgreen’s, Woofgang Bakery, EMSI, Baylor University, Cenikor, PCA, Baked Bliss, Cougar Paws, Aramark, Meadow Park Townhomes, Stoney Brook, and What-a-Burger. After completing the CWJC program, some women choose to continue their education at MCC or TSTC and have earned both associate degrees and bachelor degrees through the MCC/Tarleton program.

The ministry of CWJC makes a significant difference in the lives of women and McLennan County families. We have seen God work in many ways:

• Women are developing self-esteem and self-confidence.
• Women are becoming devoted mothers, loving wives, and dependable employees.
• Families and future generations are changing, and the community is improving.
• On a yearly basis volunteers contribute over 5,000 hours as teachers, mentors, lunch providers, prayer warriors, encouragers, community resources, and mock interviewers.
• People from more than 150 churches, businesses, and organizations throughout the community have participated in the success of our program.
