The one-day Bridges Out of Poverty workshop introduces participants to a comprehensive approach for understanding the dynamics that cause and maintain poverty from the individual to the systemic levels. Bridges Out of Poverty, sponsored by Episcopal Health Foundation, uses the lens of economic class and provides concrete tools and strategies for a community to prevent, reduce, and alleviate poverty; it is designed to provide a broad overview of concepts. We invite those who work directly with individuals and families in the community through congregations and community partners to gain a deeper understanding of poverty culture and learn prevention strategies.
