Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World and Staying Ahead
Getting Ahead is a 16-20 week class for adults who want to learn how to get ahead in their lives. Financial literacy, capacity building and future planning are a big part of this. In this program, barriers are removed by offering childcare, a meal, incentives and more! This allows the participant to truly absorb the information. Those who want to move forward in the process can attend Staying Ahead meetings. These occur once a month, often with a speaker, and build on the skills already taught. Those in this program become mentors to others and the focus is on volunteering, community service and continued individual growth. Many Staying Ahead participants have shown interest in facilitating a future Getting Ahead group!
