SWU hosts Women and Children Succeeding luncheon
Kristi King-Brock, executive director of Anderson Interfaith Ministries, addresses the Women and Children Succeeding (WACS) program a luncheon Sept. 17, 2009 at Founders' Hall on the Southern Wesleyan University campus.
At the luncheon, WACS participants shared testimonials of how the program has helped them attain educational and career goals despite overwhelming challenges. Program participants receive funding for child care while attending college. In return, they provide community service hours and are required to meet strict academic and behavioral guidelines. Women and Children Succeeding began in Anderson County and is expanding to Pickens and Oconee counties.
