Bridges Out of Poverty uses the lens of economic class and provides concrete tools and strategies for a community to prevent, reduce, and alleviate poverty.
Prudence Pease is a certified Bridges Out of Poverty national facilitator and has trained more than 5,000 individuals in Bridges work, including health and human service providers, human resource professionals, teachers, and employers. Her personal story of growth and change as she traveled the road from welfare mom to judicial officer is extremely compelling and demonstrates beautifully the messages of the Bridges Out of Poverty model.
