egm Poverty 101 Workshop: A standalone opportunity, or the pathway to more

About the event: Created by egm to transform the community, Poverty 101 is an insightful and interactive workshop on relational poverty alleviation. Please arrive about 15 minutes early to find parking and get checked in. Poverty 101 EGM’s poverty training targets both our heads and our hearts! Using years of experience and learning walking alongside those experiencing material poverty, the presenters facilitate a journey that focuses on relational poverty alleviation. You will be challenged to consider both the barriers you face as well as the barriers faced by those experiencing poverty along this journey. You will be encouraged to pursue effective relational poverty alleviation strategies that remove personal and systemic barriers to change. EGM trainings intentionally provide a space where networking and collaboration between unlikely partners such as faith communities, non-profits, municipalities, businesses, and neighborhoods is fostered and encouraged. Poverty 101 is a critical block to building cross-sector partnerships that result in a resilient, thriving community. Costs underwritten by partners. No charge to participate. Lunch Included. *While this training is required for all active volunteers, attending does not obligate you to do any future volunteering. We utilize our volunteer platform, Point, to register attendees and track who has attended. To thank you for giving us your time, you'll earn 6 hours of volunteer service credit just for attending!
