Fall 2023 Beegle Poverty Immersion Institute 

This intensive two-day Poverty Institute provides a grounded understanding of poverty and what you can do to more successfully assist people in moving out – and staying out – of poverty. This seminar is designed for professionals from the fields of justice, education, health, social service, faith-based and community organization members.

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.), can still attend via zoom.

What others have to say about these institutes

• It's always good to be aware of what our students are dealing with on a daily basis. This training provided more insight into the infamous "why." I love that Dr. Beegle provided her own experiences to help bring a human voice to this epidemic.
• I got more information about poverty and how to properly and respectfully address those who are in the crisis of poverty. This will helpme and my team overcome myths and work towards a more humanized way to support and help people navigate the multiple systems.
• The homework was great because it helped me to understand what people in poverty juggle with on a daily basis and the extremely hard decisions they have to make.
• I love the breakout rooms and the deep discussions we had. It helped me see that I wasn't the only one with certain feelings, frustrations, etc.
• Every portion of this Institute provided insight and information that impacted my life and work professionally and personally.
• In some webinars, a person can kind of multi-task and pay only half attention, and still get most of it. This was not like that! Highly interactive, LOADED with information. It caught and kept my full attention and kept me thinking and taking notes the whole time. High value here.
