What it's all about:
Bridges Out of Poverty: Strategies for Professionals and Communities

In this one-day workshop, participants will create a mental model of poverty, review poverty research, examine a theory of change and analyze poverty through the prism of the hidden rules of class, resources, family structure and language. The seminar puts into words what many veteran professionals and community members have experienced.

Throughout the workshop, participants will receive specific strategies for improving outcomes for people living in poverty, but the focus of the workshop is to provide a broad overview of concepts.

Jodi Pfarr of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is currently employed by Catholic Charities as a consultant assisting the program staff with the development of their skills and the enhancement of their programs. This follows her post of Transitional Housing Manager managing low-income housing for those coming out of a shelter or off the street, and has created holistic programs that assist residents to stabilize their lives. Jodi also managed a special needs shelter and a women’s shelter for the Salvation Army, for those with mental illness, disability, or physical ailments. Jodi is a chaplain with a Masters of Divinity, and is a certified critical debriefer for the St. Paul Police department. She is very aware of the police culture and the challenges officers face. She sits on the board of the Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association and has advised several city and county agencies on projects relating to these issues. Jodi also consults for the aha! Process, Inc.
