Bridges out of Poverty
April 7, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
“Never before have I taken a workshop that has opened my eyes as much as Bridges Out of Poverty!” Even after years of interacting with people experiencing poverty, I never really understood the complexity of the issue. Now I have a framework that has radically changed my knowledge, skills, level of compassion and effectiveness. If you’re someone who engages personally or professionally with poverty and desires a deeper understanding, this course is well worth your time.” ~ Mike Orrill
