Presented by: Elaine Dickson

Workshop description:

Come learn about how God is changing the lives of our participants and how you can serve with Christian Women’s Job Corps® of Madison County.  We will provide an understanding of poverty as a lack of resources and discuss those resources so that volunteers will be better equipped to relate to those in poverty. This is an opportunity to get involved in missions on a local level.  A variety of volunteer opportunities to suit your experience and schedule will be discussed.

Time: Friday 9 to 11 a.m.
