Getting AHEAD in a Just-Gettin'-By World
  
Helping people build a futrue story
 
 
A central component of this initiative is called Getting Ahead in a Just Getting by World. This is a curriculum that engages the working poor and those of generational or situational poverty. Working in groups of 10 or 12 with a facilitator, they investigate together the impact poverty has had on them and their community. This curriculum is not a quick shotgun approach, but rather a 16- to 20-week process. By the end, graduates will have evaluated their personal situations, assessed their resources, and developed a self-directed plan to achieve economic stability.
  

Getting Ahead May be Just What you've been looking for!
 
 
Are you tired of worrying about the rent, cut off notices, and groceries?
 
Do you want to build a better life for yourself and your loved ones?
  
 
Getting Ahead is only for people who want to make a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
It helps the participants find and build resources so they can put together their own plan and make the changes that will lead them into a more stable, secure, and happy future.
 
Through guided activities and talking with others, you will discover resources in yourself and in the community, you will look at why people are poor and set personal life goals.  This can be your first steps toward a better future.
