reasons for existence in Guntersville are:
1. To build self-esteem through
the emotional and spiritual support of the class instruction and mentoring program.
2. To
provide opportunities for women to complete their basic education.
3. To
help identify and explore area job options.

encourage each woman to define her own life goals.
5. Most
importantly of all, CWJC gives the opportunity to hear and respond
to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Women head
more than half of all families in poverty. Some are already in the
job force and making low wages, and need to upgrade skills for
better pay or higher positions. They may be lacking the
necessary education, job knowledge, and life skills to become
self-sufficient. Some may be abused, abandoned, homeless,
and afraid.
If YOU
are one of these women, Christian Women's Job Corps
could be a step in the right direction.
