Bridges Out of Poverty Workshop
Bridges Out of Poverty workshops explore the differences between poverty, middle class, and wealth; provide insight into the complex causes of poverty and barriers to success; and examine mindsets and behavioral patterns shaped by different economic backgrounds. Workshops are beneficial to anyone interacting with individuals who come from a background of instability, including but not limited to service providers, churches, and employers.
Workshops are 3 hours with additional opportunities for a deeper dive into the Bridges Out of Poverty framework.
The mission of the Ardmore Bridges Initiative is to empower individuals to break the cycle of poverty and engage the community to create a place where hope can grow into reality.
