What is poverty? Why does it matter? What does it mean to be trapped in poverty? How can I help someone in poverty?
Shepherd Community’s custom curriculum, Poverty 101, goes beyond simple research and study, offering you an immersive, hands-on opportunity to see, feel, and interact with poverty. Taught by Shepherd Community Chief Learning Officer Tim Streett, you’ll learn through real-life examples, find a deeper understanding of the mindset of poverty and the faces who live it daily, and how poverty extends beyond mere finances.
Our 2026 Lunch & Learns will be a FREE 8-session journey into Shepherd’s Poverty 101. Through research, authors, perspectives, and 40 years of experience at Shepherd Community, Poverty 101 is an opportunity for you to truly understand what poverty is, why it matters, and the assets needed to break the cycle. Every Lunch & Learn session includes a complimentary lunch and will last from Noon to 1:30 pm.
