CWEE (www.cwee.org) was founded in 1982 and modeled after NWEE (National Women's Employment and Education). NWEE was formed in San Antonio, Texas in 1973 after several hundred welfare recipients marched to the Texas Welfare Department to return their welfare checks and demand jobs. Today CWEE continues to prepare single parents and families for long-term, meaningful employment, enabling them to achieve self-sufficiency and end their dependency on welfare.

CWEE's mission is to provide realistic programs to help low-income single parents and families develop and expand the skills and confidence necessary to obtain continuous, meaningful employment and career advancement.
