Join us for an interactive Bridges Out of Poverty workshop: Understanding Poverty from the Inside Out
This 3-hour workshop offers a powerful introduction to how economic class shapes daily life, decision-making, and relationships. It goes beyond surface-level assumptions to explore the lived experience of poverty — how limited resources, constant crisis management, and the “tyranny of the moment” influence choices and long-term planning.
Cost: $35, includes materials & snacks.
Get all the details and register online: Workshops.CommonHeart.org
Participants will learn key Bridges concepts, including the difference between generational and situational poverty, the hidden rules of class, and the 11 essential resources — like relationships, language, and mental models — that are critical for stability.
Whether you interact regularly with individuals experiencing low resources or are seeking a deeper understanding, this workshop fosters empathy, practical insight, and tools to build meaningful connections across economic class. This workshop is the foundation for building better relationships, organizations, and communities.
