Relational Poverty Alleviation Training

Everett Gospel Mission (egm) developed the Relational Poverty Alleviation Training based on their innovative Poverty 101 offered to thousands in their community. This training will be an engaging, interactive, and insightful workshop equipping neighbors to practice coming alongside one another and experience mutual transformation. 

By participating in this training:

• Experienced CCD practitioners will be encouraged and inspired to envision how they can contextualize this core strategy egm uses to engage with our community to alleviate poverty.
• New practitioners to CCD will accelerate their understanding of relevant concepts, CCD values, and leave better equipped to partner with their neighbors experiencing poverty.
• Having worked in relational poverty alleviation and homeless services for decades your facilitators will draw from their own transformation, both individually and organizationally, to guide you through challenging content, personal stories, and interactive lessons, inviting you to experience a similar journey of change. That you can take home and use to lead change and collaboration in your communities.

This interactive and experiential training challenges personal biases and prejudices about poverty and provides frameworks to:

• Understand both material and relational poverty
• Move away from transactions and toward relationships
• Introduces practical mental models and tools that improve interpersonal relations
• Demonstrates discussion and group activities to awaken understanding and improve poverty alleviation competency

Join us in learning more about relational poverty alleviation through mutual transformation.
