Getting Ahead

Class

Participants transform their futures with the “Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin’-by World” workshop. This program, rooted in the “Bridges Out of Poverty” framework by Ruby Payne, provides practical tools and strategies to build financial, emotional, and social assets. Through interactive sessions, participants learn to identify and leverage their strengths, understand the hidden rules of economic class, and develop actionable plans to achieve self-sufficiency. The workshop fosters a supportive community, empowering individuals to break the cycle of poverty and create sustainable, thriving futures.

SELF programs are always free. The next session will begin soon. Request more information to apply.
