You've already done our poverty immersion? Then you're ready for Level II: Leadership for Church and Community. In this week-long event, you'll learn to bring change and work for justice -- to become a powerful force in your own community. Level I is about understanding poverty; Level II is about making a difference, a week-long how-to event, including how to be an advocate, talk to your elected officials, challenge stereotypes, build relationships across class lines, and more.
Here's what one adult group leader said: "As a business owner, I've done lots of leadership seminars. This is by far the best event I've participated in; I wish I'd had this training 20 years ago."
Yes, we have
beds. When you do Level II, you are no longer part of the immersion
event. You'll live in our climate-controlled dorm, have regular
meals and snacks, enjoy a greater degree of discretionary time for
relaxing and play. You may even call out for pizza! You'll also work
hard. In conversation with community leaders, activists and
neighbors, in seminars with Deb, in group-led discussions, and in
our Internet Cafe, you'll explore issues, connect with resources,
and discover the wonderful sound of your own voice raised in
advocacy.
To Register for this Event
Program Costs Cost is $275 per person for the Poverty Immersion Week or the Poverty Leadership Level II Week (see below). That includes all program fees and leadership, lodging and meals. If you've been here as a leader and come back again with another group, we'll waive your fee! (Limit one per group.) And if you think costs may keep you away, please call us. We have some scholarships available for those in need. We're available year-round, and there are always open dates for you to choose from. Groups should plan to arrive on Sunday afternoon and depart on Saturday mid-morning. OFF-SEASON RATES: Bring your group between September 1 and March 1, and pay just $190 per person!

“The week was hard in the beginning and I was mad. But now, I understand how good of an experience this was and how much I learned from it. Thank you for such a great week. I would definitely come back if I had a chance.” -guest reflection
