WOMEN AND CHILDREN SUCCEEDING

WACS empowers moms to reach their career goals by earning a degree.​ Each scholar is a full-time student who is gaining the necessary skills for their profession* through local colleges and universities. Our holistic approach focuses on balancing academics, career planning, family and life, finances, health, and faith to reach your full potential.

 *31 years of graduates now working in the fields of business, education, engineering, human services, medical, and many more.
