Coalfield Development provides opportunities for affordable housing, sustainable employment, and a quality life to the residents of West Virginia’s coalfields. In addition to mentoring crew members, each social enterprise of Coalfield Development hosts professional training and certification opportunities which are open to the public, enabling hundreds to advance career goals.
Work-crews provide labor on community projects that create assets for local residents. Each week, crew members complete 33 hours of paid work, 6 credit hours of higher education, and 3 hours of personal development mentorship. At the end of their 2.5 year contract, crew members have thus gained invaluable work experience, earned an Associates Degree, and gained clarity on life goals as well as the personal assets needed to attain those goals.
