Compañero Club

We recently reached an important milestone at WDP- we’ve recovered over $850,000 in unpaid wage for 1,000 low-income families. While this is the work we are most recognized for there are equally important efforts being under taken every day at WDP to improve the lives of our members.  For example, six times a year members have the opportunity to take ESL courses, something WDP members requested in hopes of bridging language barriers in the workplace.  There are leadership courses that train members in developing organizing skills.  Safety training courses are available to prevent injury on construction sites among, and these are just a few of the many courses offered.

Members often take time away from work and family to participate in these courses that are sometimes 8-10 weeks in duration, but the commitment and motivation is there.  Members need support from people like you to see them through these important weeks, and WDP needs your support in ensuring that these programs continue to thrive.

We are so excited to announce the launching of the Compañero Club. This is the new face of the monthly giving program, and connects supporters like you with WDP members as they participate in one of the many courses WDP has to offer.

How does it work?
If you sign up as a monthly sustainer you can elect which program or course you’d like their contribution to go towards.  You will be notified of key moments during the programming such as start dates of courses and invited to significant events such as ESL or Leadership Course graduation.  This will give you the opportunity to meet members impacted by your contribution

The programs to sponsor include: Youth Program, ESL Courses, Safety Training Courses, Leadership Courses. You can find out more about these in the Issue Areas page.

To sign up as a Compañero please go to the Donate Now button and indicate that you are giving monthly.   A WDP staff person will contact you.

Oscar Romero once said, “Es necesario acompañar al pueblo que lucha por su liberación” (It is necessary to walk alongside those who fight for their own liberation).  We encourage you to support WDP members as a Compañero, or companion and watch them develop their skills and voice at WDP.  Your monthly contribution will directly impact programming that is intended to break some of the barriers that keep WDP members ostracized and discriminated against.

Acompáñanos. Join WDP members on their journeys of creating a world they want to live in.
