Students Make an Impact Outside the Classroom

Sherry Skinner, Executive Director of Christian Women’s Job Corp, was thrilled to take a tour of All Saints and was impressed by Grace Lewis and Slade Clyde.

Over the next several weeks, Grace and Slade frequently met with Mrs. Skinner. Their high quality of work and impressive marketing pieces led Mrs. Skinner to ask Grace and Slade to occupy two seats on their Board of Directors.

Christian Women’s Job Corps of Tyler, Inc. equips women with job skills and life skills in a Christ-centered environment.

"When Grace and Slade were added as full voting members of the Christian Women’s Job Corps’ Board of Directors, our organization knew that we were adding intelligent women with critical problem solving skills," says Skinner. "We were pleasantly enriched by their ability to craft communication messages with both intellectual and heartfelt stories that painted powerful pictures of women in our community working their way out of poverty."

Grace and Slade feel blessed to have received an amazing education through classroom teaching at All Saints and real-world learning through CWJC, and they hope other women in our community are able to receive that same opportunity to better themselves.
