The Center on Community Philanthropy at the University Of Arkansas Clinton School Of Public Service proudly congratulates all six graduates of the Delta Circles 2014 spring class on receiving their certificates of completion for “Getting Ahead in a Just-Getting-by World” workshop.
Delta Circles is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support individuals and families to end poverty in their lives and inspire communities to commit to long-term solutions for addressing poverty.
The “Getting Ahead” workshops are based on Ruby Payne’s Bridges out of Poverty curriculum. Delta Circles has implemented the workshops since 2009.
“This class of graduates is now able to recognize the impact of successfully making positive lifestyle changes by creating optimistic stories about themselves that will help them move out of poverty.” said Patricia Ashanti Executive Director of Delta Circles.
“Delta Circles is doing an excellent job in providing the graduates with the opportunities to develop self-improvement skills and financial literacy through the training workshops,” said Dr. Charlotte L. Williams, associate professor and director of the Clinton School of Public Service Center on Community Philanthropy. “These skills are essential in understanding the impact of poverty while providing solutions to help them forge a brighter future.”
The Center of Community Philanthropy continues to create connections between philanthropists, non-profits, for-profit organizations and stakeholders throughout the Delta Region. Since 2009 The Center of Community Philanthropy has maintained a strong strategic partnership with Delta Circles.
