Christian Women’s Job Corps taking applications now

The Christian Women’s Job Corps of Bandera is gearing up for the next session of classes and they are now accepting applications.
The classes will begin with an Open House and Orientation on Monday, Jan. 3, at 10 a.m., in the Youth Building of First Baptist Church of Bandera. Located at 1300 Pecan Street, the church sponsors the Job Corps as one of its ministries. The public is welcome.
After the orientation, the classes will continue every Tuesday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., for 12 weeks. Child care will be provided free of charge; and ending the days at 3:30 makes it easier for women with school age youngsters. Lunch is provided each class day for all the ladies.
The program is free and available for women 18 years of age and older. The goal of the Job Corps is to provide “a safe Christ-centered environment that encourages spiritual, professional and personal growth.” Many participants are single moms, recovering from substance or physical abuse, overcoming legal issues or are on public assistance with a desire to be self-sufficient. All desire to move from dependency to independence and are willing to accept responsibility as an intern at CWJC.
The Job Corps inspiration is Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future.”
To apply for the classes, or to volunteer to teach or sponsor, or for more information, contact Coordinator Aurora Williams at 830-326-1457 or email CWJCBC@yahoo.com.
