Bridges to Circles uses the concepts found in Bridges Out of Poverty [Bridges] to engage people of all classes, races, sectors, and political persuasions in the work of ending poverty and building communities where everyone can live well.  Bridges provide a common language for Guiding Coalitions, Allies, and Circle Leaders.  The application of Bridges constructs provides an accurate mental model of poverty and class, a way to build relationships of mutual respect, an understanding of the barriers faced by people who are transitioning out of poverty, and a comprehensive systemic way to address all the causes of poverty. Training is conducted at the Catholic Charities Outreach Center, 1815 N 6th Avenue, from 5:30-7:30 pm.  For more information contact Haley Richards, 429-7296, ext. 17 or richardsh@cc.ptdiocese.org.
