Our Mission
EDUCATE ORGANIZE EMPOWER
The Chester Worker Empowerment Center's mission is to “educate, organize, and empower” workers in Chester and surrounding . We are concerned community members, clergy, labor, and elected officials who believe that all workers have the right to dignity and respect at work.
Our Campaigns
Worker Survey
We surveyed our communities to better understand worker needs. We collected over 200 responses. This information will help shape the programs we provide. All individual responses will be held strictly confidential. We appreciate your opinion and your time and trust! If you would like for our Director to come and speak about the results to your group, then please contact Jason Myers.
What Matters to You?
Our partners with the What Matters To You Team will be out in community this week. They have a quick survey for you to complete that will help us learn what matters to you. We thank you in advance for your willingness to participate. We will see you soon!
