Bridges incorporates a national, comprehensive plan to help community partners from all sectors and economic classes together to improve job retention rates, build resources, improve outcomes, and support those who are moving out poverty. This workshop is a practical way for you to learn about and take an active role in efforts to end poverty locally and beyond. This lunch session will include a workshop activity and provide an overview of the 4-hour Bridges training offered throughout the year.
