As part of that mission we provide professional development training for social workers, teachers, clergy, health care and other social service professionals working with individuals and families living in poverty. 

 

WHAT:  

This is a professional development training course that emphasizes an asset-based approach to work with people living in poverty and work in low-income communities. 

 

WHEN:  

New classes are being developed for the Spring/Summer 2024 offering of this course.  Class details will be available at the time of application. 

 

WHO:

This training course is primarily for practitioners who are currently employed (or volunteering) as a social service worker, ministry leader, teacher, healthcare worker, program supervisor or community professional working with individuals or families living in poverty. 

 

WHY:  

To equip practitioners (and their organizations) to develop and deliver programs and services that better understand the reality of a life lived in poverty; and to better understand not just why, but how to help families work to liberate themselves from poverty and its negative impacts.
