[The Network] City and County of Denver Human Service Providers Bridges Out of Poverty Training

Please find information about an exciting training/networking opportunity for City and County of Denver Human Service Providers!

 

Welcome to Bridges Out of Poverty 101 and 201!  A partnership between CCAA, DHS, and RMHS brings some engaged training for you, your colleagues, and our community.

 

Bridges 101:  An Introduction to Bridges Out of Poverty that will peak your curiosity about the diversity as it relates to issues of economic class and scarcity.  Participants develop insights that can lead to new individual and agency decisions that increase effectiveness in working with the people they serve.  Come to this program with your colleagues while also interacting with other agencies, gain insights through shared ideas and potential opportunities to reduce silos. 

·         This course involves 2, 2-hour sessions, 2 weeks apart.  Participants are encouraged to interact via discussion board between sessions.

·         If you attended the Bridges course earlier in 2014 through CSBG funding, you are eligible to take the 201 course.

Bridges 201:  Channels for Change engages participants and agencies to take our work to even higher ground.  While continuing to reduce silos, sharing ideas, and exploring scarcity, we will become aware of advocacy opportunities and grow resources to support greater community accessibility for the people we serve.   Participants consider actionable steps across the whole community sustainability grid addressing the 4 categories of causes that perpetuate poverty:  political and economic structures, exploitation, the absence of human and social capital, and individual behavior of people in poverty.  We will explore ways in our Denver community to continue the work we start in this program. 

·         As in 101, this course involves 2, 2-hour sessions, 2 weeks apart.  Participants are encouraged to interact via discussion board between sessions.
