Benefits
NOTE: To become a Certified Beegle Poverty Coach, you must have attended a two-day Beegle Poverty Immersion Institute.
This institute will be provided both in-person and virtually (a hybrid institute!). That way, those that have missed learning from Dr. Beegle in person can attend in Portland, Oregon. Those who still need to be virtual (due to travel budgets, continued need to social distance, etc.), they can still attend via zoom.
What others are saying about the Coaching Institutes
I feel better equipped to help our organization move forward with not only implementing the Opportunity Community model, but with determining where our strengths are and what we need to do to improve. Also, I feel I can now play an active role in training staff within our organization to be more poverty informed.
I’m right now at work looking back through some of the information and slowly beginning to process it. When I heard Dr. Beegle 3 years ago when she provided a poverty training at Kansas State University, I was changed forever. I desperately wanted to learn more about how to genuinely make a difference in the lives of those folks in my community living in poverty. Unfortunately, when I asked to attend the Institute, there weren’t funds available. But my supervisor allowed me the time off. I paid for everything myself because I knew it was that important. It was worth every penny and then some!
