Bridges Out of Poverty

An Introduction 

 Tuesday, May 20

9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

This workshop is an introduction to understanding the dynamics that cause and maintain poverty from the individual to the systemic level. Bridges Out of Poverty uses the lens of economic class and provides concrete tools and strategies for a community to prevent, reduce, and alleviate poverty.

Those participants interested will be invited to attend a full-day comprehensive workshop in which they will review poverty research, examine a theory of change, and analyze poverty through the prism of the hidden rules of class, resources, family structure, and language. Throughout the workshop, participants will receive specific strategies for improving outcomes for people living in poverty, but the focus of the workshop is to provide a broad overview of concepts.

Learn about proven concepts, strategies and approaches. This training assists employers, community organizations, social service agencies, and individuals gain insight and strategies.
