2026 MAWD Pre-Con: Bridges Out of Poverty

Bridges Out of Poverty

Presented by: Josiah Melzer and Keri McKee

Bridges Out of Poverty is a framework designed to help individuals and
communities understand the complexities of poverty and develop strategies to overcome it. The program emphasizes the importance of understanding the hidden rules of different socioeconomic classes, the impact of poverty on individuals and families, and the resources needed to build a path out
of poverty. The initiative provides practical tools for various stakeholders, including educators, social workers, and community organizations, to support those in poverty effectively. It encourages collaboration between different sectors to address systemic barriers and promote economic mobility. By
fostering awareness and understanding, Bridges Out of Poverty aims to create sustainable change and empower individuals to improve their circumstances.
