Making a Difference

CWJC exists to empower individuals to experience spiritual, personal and professional success. Success can be measured in many ways:

Earning a Living Wage

Here at CWJC we strive to give you the tools you need to be able to make a living wage. We partner with local businesses to help you achieve this goal. Our local businesses provide mentors, special speakers, and instructors for our program. Some of the businesses even hire our grads.

We partner with both Angelina College and the Angelina College Adult Education Consortium (ACAEC) to help you achieve this goal. ACAEC offers our participants the chance to obtain a High School Equivalency Certification. While Angelina College has scholarships available for our students who complete our program and qualify for certain certification programs.

Healing a broken relationship can be tough. CWJC offers classes and techniques that can help you determine whether the relationship is fixable and how you can go about repairing it.

A healthy Spiritual life can bring peace, power and a sense of inner well-being. As you work on a better understanding of your spiritual needs and how it connects you to others, then you can gain insight on how to prevent future problems. You can even learn how to deal with difficult problems when they come around.

A sure sign of success is when you can give back to your community. CWCJ will not only help prepare you for a job, we will provide you opportunities to help others.

There are some things that are difficult to define or measure. Sometimes personal goals can be unique and specific to your needs or dreams. We cannot always compare ourselves to others. Perhaps you have something that you want to accomplish, here at CWJC we want to offer you the encouragement you need to achieve that Goal.
