ABOUT US
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Cheryl Ward Ministries (CWM) is an organization with a commitment to train and employ youth and young adults to be change-agents in working towards transforming the communities in which they live. Upon completion of the CWM Workforce Development Program, participants will be equipped and welcomed to work in companies and agencies in their fields of choice.
In addition, to training and employment, youth learn the importance of volunteering and giving back to their community. They distribute food and toiletries at Homeless Encampments, as well as assisting with Holiday Food Boxes at local giveaways.
CWM builds and instills a sense of togetherness and family where staff and family also participate in fun activities such as tailgating and sitting in a Skybox watching the Oakland Athletics play baseball; participating in a day of fun in the snow in the Sierras, as well as learning workshops and retreats.
Youth also create jobs for themselves doing yard work, graphic design, assisting seniors and other things that develop their entrepreneurial and business skills.
