This training is being hosted by Mayville State University Child Development Programs. There is no charge for those who wish to participate in the workshop. Lunch will be available for purchase at Mayville State Dining Services.
Bridges Out of Poverty is a framework that helps community partners like businesses, churches, schools, and social service organizations address poverty in a comprehensive way. Cultures have norms, and people respond based on the hidden rules of their upbringing. The training on Aug. 22 will provide an understanding of the hidden rules for individuals in poverty, middle class, and wealth with the goal of providing avenues of success for all. Individuals who work regularly with those living in poverty or who want to advocate for those in poverty will benefit from this training.
Bridges Out of Poverty champions alliances of support and helps individuals and communities that are ready to break free of poverty. Rather than create reliance, Bridges communities create new understanding, skills, resources, and motivation. As a result, Bridges is embraced by tens of thousands of people who represent hundreds of communities, six countries, and a diverse range of political, racial, economic, geographic, and other identities.
