Wiser on Wednesday: Bridges Out of Poverty – April 28

The Bridges Out of Poverty workshop on April 28 (1-3pm) will help participants understand the causes of poverty and address it in our community. We will focus on how a person can get to the point of having a future story by creating choices and developing his or her power. We also will focus on the framework for understanding poverty and appreciating economic diversity. The program explores each economic class's hidden rules, mental models of economic class, language barriers, family structure, and more. Get tools, training, and guidance to better understand generational poverty and break economic class barriers. Registration is required at go.osu.edu/wiseronwed.
