STEPMC is offering Bridges Out of Poverty Training for all community members. Bridges Out of Poverty trains community volunteers who want to help people living in poverty work their way to self-sufficiency. Bridges training leads to a better understanding of poverty, provides a process for helping people out of poverty and encourages restructuring of community resources to facilitate and sustain self-sufficiency. This training is used to prepare volunteers to build relationships across class lines.
Bridges Out of Poverty training is the first step to becoming involved with the Circles(TM) Campaign in McPherson County. If you are interested in serving as an Ally, you need this training. If you are interested in serving on one of the teams that support the Circles(TM) Campaign, you need this training.
