You Are On Welfare

          You didn’t have the $150 for a goal setting session, so you applied to the Client Assistance Committee. Your goal setting fee is $150. You are given five people to call. One person advances you $50 for doing yard work. A second person advances you $50 for your commitment to Volunteer five hours to work for Chimorel. You work seven hours for Chimorel. At your goal setting session you decide to enter a training program with Chimorel which would lead to a full-time job working at a recycling center. During your training program you are a Volunteer and continue to receive welfare benefits. When you complete your training program, you receive a stipend and a job with better pay and benefits than being on welfare. Should you drop out of the program, you forgo your stipend and job. Now you are aware of Chimorel’s other programs, you begin to set goals for a retirement program, college for yourself and your children, maybe even a house of your own.
