The Women's Program had expanded! Click here to find out more!

For a former homeless person or a recovered addict, the thought of conquering the job market can be intimidating. Through the Women's Career Development Program (CDP) the Waterfront Rescue Mission gives each woman a new start with confidence through Christ to overcome all obstacles and succeed. The purpose of the CDP is to prepare the residents to meet the challenges they will face after rehabilitation. By providing training and support, the Mission offers stability during this period of transition.

The Career Development Program gives the women the opportunity to develop basic job skills. As they learn how to create resumes, conduct a successful interview, and run Microsoft Office programs, the women grow more confident and capable of thriving in the work force. Further, many residents are given the opportunity to enroll in local vocational schools and colleges.

The program is essential in empowering these women to remain addiction free by equipping them with the tools needed for a new start.
