What kind of solutions are we talking about?
Individual – Participate in Getting Ahead Classes, choose to
go back to school, choose to never use a pay day lender again, each individual
will have to evaluate their personal choices.
Community Condition – Does the community offer literacy
classes, have enough living wage jobs or have a public transportation system.
Exploitation or predator businesses – Banks and Credit
Unions offer small medium rate loans to people trying to build or repair
credit. Financial institutions could
also offer investment, checking and money management classes.
Political/Economic Structure – Discuss government policy and
economic difficulties with a Getting Ahead graduate and learn what some of the
barriers they encounter daily. Most
living in upper- and middle-class do not know what problems exist for people
living in poverty. Through associations
and connections, organizations can influence people in positions of power.
