The Bucks County Opportunity Council, in partnership with William Penn Bank Community Foundation and First National Bank of Newtown, is offering a virtual Bridges out of Poverty Training, Friday, Oct. 15, via Zoom.
Training opportunities are available to anyone (in businesses, places of worship, agencies, nonprofits, volunteers) who works with people in poverty.
Bridges Out of Poverty training takes a comprehensive approach to understanding the dynamics that cause and maintain poverty. The focus is to provide a broad overview of concepts as well as concrete, practical tools and strategies for improving outcomes for people living in poverty. Participants are shown how economic class and its hidden rules affect behavior and mindset; what key resources, besides financial, help move a person out of poverty if they chose; and the importance of language and communication skills.
