understanding poverty

Would you like to better understand how living in financial poverty affects individuals and families? Are you possibly interested in volunteering as an Ally for Thrive!? If so, please join us for a FREE Bridges Out of Poverty training. This highly interactive training will give you the tools you need to more effectively work with individual and families living in financial poverty.

Thrive! is a poverty-reduction program that works to alleviate poverty through positive and long-term relationships fostered in a safe and consistent place. The program builds life skills and resilience across generations.
