Bridges out of Poverty is a framework for understanding poverty and the hidden rules of economic class by Dr. Ruby Payne. We use this framework to develop programs and strategies that improve relationships at the front-line level, improve outcomes at the organizational level and improve systems at the community level.
Reducing the social costs of poverty, strengthening the workforce and building a more prosperous and sustainable community are goals on which most communities can agree. Bridges out of Poverty helps employers, organizations, agencies and individuals understand, address and reduce poverty together in a comprehensive way.
