Workshops For Individuals
Take Control of Your Life
Are you living in a state of constant crisis? It’s time to take back control and take the first step toward creating the life you want to live.
You Can Get Ahead
If you are constantly struggling to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, and cannot see a way out, our eight to nine-week Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-By World workshop is for you.
You will be introduced to a new perspective, and you’ll learn that you have the power to influence your future and create positive change for yourself and your loved ones. You can break the poverty cycle once and for all! And, as a bonus, you will earn $300 while you learn!
WORKSHOP BENEFITS
OWN YOUR LIFE CHANGES
We do not tell anyone that they must change. Investigators (participants) make their own argument for change.
BE THE EXPERT
You are the expert on the impact of poverty, low-wages, and instability on your life. We are here to learn alongside you.
LEARN FROM YOUR PAST
Half of what you will learn will come from the deep discussions and different experiences and perspectives you bring to the table.
GET PAID TO LEARN
That’s right, you’ll earn $400 as a bonus, just for attending our Getting Ahead classes.
