Auto Mechanics
Christian Women’s Job Corps has a car ministry whereby cars that are donated to the program are in turn given to students who have graduated and need transportation for employment. The interested student fills out an application to receive the car and when vehicles are available, the selection committee awards the auto to the chosen student. We need mechanics that are willing to assess the donated autos and provide repairs as a donation.

Bible Study Teachers
Lead weekly Bible Study which is non–denominational and is based on basic Christian beliefs as outlined in our statement of faith. Requires 1–hour per week.

Computer Teachers
Present Microsoft Word, Excel and basic keyboarding. The computer teacher also helps the student prepare their professional resumé. The computer teacher is a paid position and requires 8 hours weekly in class time. Opportunities also exist for computer teaching assistants. These are volunteer positions and are vitally necessary for assisting the students one–on–one during computer classes.

This is an annual fund raiser event for CWJC held at the Von Braun Center in downtown Huntsville. Find out more about the Circles Luncheon.
