Our Story

NETworX is a national program that seeks to bring people of all socio-economic backgrounds together to help people out of poverty. About a year and a half ago, Robin Mathews-Johnson (pastor of Watsonville First United Methodist Church) with the help of the United Methodist Church in Carson City, Nev. and with local Community Action Board Executive Director Maria Elena De La Garza were able to translate the program into Spanish so that we could implement it in our community. Robin, along with Co-Coordinators Mayra Bernabe and Maritza Ortiz then launched Watsonville NETworX on February 3rd, 2017.

Watsonville NETworX offers an opportunity for individuals known as Champions to develop a personal life plan by attending a 12-15-week training program. Here, our participants investigate behaviors preventing them from leading a financially secure life, in a highly participatory curriculum which is bilingual.

Participants assess their own strengths and resources (financial, educational, spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, social, etc.) and identify areas they want to improve. They receive tools such as self-discovery, the hidden rules, and budgeting amongst other to prepare them to set life goals AND are invited to be part of a support network.

Watsonville NETworX is a family program! In addition to our adult curriculum, we also have childcare and a youth group kids’ curriculum. We value building community, which is why we have Family Fun Nights, where we take our families on fieldtrips on a quarterly basis.

Here at NETworX, we understand that all good things take time and change is not easy; however, with dedication, commitment, and support anything is possible! This is why after successfully completing the curriculum training course, participants have the option to continue their journey toward self-sufficiency by continuing to attend our community weekly meetings. In our community weekly meetings, several different resources and organizations come do workshops based on Champions needs and interests.

More importantly, Champions have access to get paired with one of our community volunteers, also known as Allies, who work alongside the participant to help overcome any obstacles and reach their goal.

Our Mission is to elevate people out of poverty by intentionally creating relationships across class lines, and empowering individuals to chart their own course toward self-sufficiency.

“It’s not about us teaching them, it’s about working together to find solutions.” - Mathews-Johnson

“Building community and self-sufficiency one family at a time!”
