When people and communities are ready to address poverty...

Bridges Out of Poverty champions alliances of support and helps individuals and communities that are ready to break free of poverty. Rather than create reliance, Bridges communities create new understanding, skills, resources, and motivation. As a result, Bridges is embraced by tens of thousands of people who represent hundreds of communities, six countries, and a diverse range of political, racial, economic, geographic, and other identities. The fifth edition guides communities and professionals who work with people experiencing poverty. An innovative, yet practical, human- and community-centered solution, Bridges creates sustainable communities where everyone can live well.
