Bridges Out of Poverty is a community-wide, community-facing initiative to use a socio-economic lens to explore and understand the many factors that contribute to poverty. Poverty is complex. Bridges Out of Poverty is a model, a set of tools, and a common language that organizations, communities, and individuals can adopt to help create a shared understanding of the complexities of poverty and start taking steps toward community stability. This workshop shares this common language, tools and strategies that can be immediately implemented into the Libraries and communities.
University Libraries have partnered with the Food Bank of Lincoln to bring this workshop to our Faculty and Staff. The Food Bank’s Community Resource Manager, Georgann Roth, has customized this learning experience for us to specifically learn about poverty in the context of Libraries and Library patrons.
Georgann Roth’s bio:
Georgann was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. She studied Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as a non-traditional student and received her degree in 2010. She has worked in three large nonprofits here in Lincoln. Her servant’s heart makes her current role as the Community Resource Manager at the Food Bank of Lincoln a perfect fit. She is responsible for re-igniting the Bridges Out of Poverty Initiative, including the Getting Ahead in a Just-Getting’-By World workshop. She also guides the SNAP Outreach team and is the Food Bank’s Grant Writer.
Georgann knows the struggles of poverty. She has straddled the middle class and poverty. Her experiences make her uniquely suited to share the Bridges Out of Poverty community training and the Getting Ahead in Just-Getting’-By-World workshops. She values authenticity, learning, helping others, kindness, and giving back. She is also a Professional Life Coach, which lends beautifully to guiding people along their life journey in Bridges.
She hopes to build a Bridges Community in Lincoln and the Food Bank’s 16 county service area, training non-profits, for-profits, and faith-based organizations on the Bridges model. She believes it’s important to share a common language to solve complex issues in our community. If everyone can put down their armor, open their minds, and work together for the good of those who need help, our community will thrive.
