The social mission of Workforce Opportunity Services is to educate, train and hire young adults from underserved populations throughout the U.S. and to place them within companies as outsourced IT consultants. Moreover, by offering opportunities to those individuals who may otherwise not have the wherewithal to afford the requisite training and education, WOS facilitates the personal, professional and financial independence students and provides them with "ladders of ascent" to help them grow in their careers into management and ownership positions. Through the training and mentoring of these young adults, WOS is uniquely poised to offer the services of highly skilled, professional, IT consultants to companies at very favorable rates, all while keeping IT jobs here in the U.S.
World Day of Prayer (WDP) is a worldwide movement of Christian women from all traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year. Many countries have a continuing relationship of prayer and service. The common day of prayer, which is celebrated annually on the first Friday of March, is an opportunity to share—spiritually, educationally, and ecumenically—in informed prayer and prayerful action. The World Day of Prayer International Committee coordinates the development and distribution of the unique worship services based on the year’s chosen themes and including issues that women face in the country responsible for preparing the worship materials. The movement is carried out by women ecumenically organized into National/Regional committees throughout countries in Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, North America, and Pacific. These National/Regional committees are linked together as one body through the work of the International Committee.
