Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World

Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World is a 16 session workshop series providing people motivated to get out of poverty, the tools and support necessary to get ahead in today's world.  Working in a group learning environment, participants will investigate the experience of poverty, the impact within the community, while providing critical information to take action to end poverty.   Participants will learn that money is only 1 of 11 resources used to define poverty.  These resources affect life and the lives of the family.  Examining current resources, versus the resources one needs, a personal plan will be developed, based on individual goals, to get out of poverty.
