2014 Poverty Law Institute (Day 1)
Presented by Communication Across Barriers, Volunteer Lawyers Network, Metropolitan State University & Century College

This intensive two-day Poverty Institute provides a grounded understanding of poverty and what you can do to more successfully assist people in moving out – and staying out – of poverty.

Participants will:
?    •   Learn to communicate more effectively with those living in poverty (e.g., bridging print and oral cultures).
?   •   Use role play, activities, modeling and dialogue to understand and practice the core concepts.
?    •   Come away with concrete strategies and materials that you can use right away to make a difference.
The Poverty Institute is designed for professionals from the fields of justice, education, health, social service, faith-based and community organization members.
