Culturally Responsive Early Childhood Tribal Workgroup

Jodi Pfarr, a National Facilitator for Bridges Out of Poverty (BOP) returns on May 10, 2016.  She'll be leading a full day of discussions and group exercises designed to help in the process of your "90-Day Community Work Plan." It'll be a session full of insightful and interactive learning; you'll leave with a deeper understanding of poverty and its solutions. Jodi helps participants verbalize their passions, skills and sense of urgency to help create a strategic plan to achieve that future goal.

This initiative will serve as a model for tribal early childhood programs to work in a cohesive and aligned way to support young children and their families and break down program silos.

Participant Outcomes

• Develop effective poverty reduction strategies for your organization and community
• Network with and learn from others passionate about ending poverty
• Become an agent of change for your organization or community
• Tailor the 90-Day strategies to your organization’s needs

Who Should Attend

Early Childhood Tribal Service Professionals in each tribal community who provide services to their community’s children and families. We encourage you to invite other members of your local collaborating team.  This will allow for a more vibrant discussion about how changes could create positive outcomes in your communities.
