Welcome to Getting Ahead Network |
 Getting Ahead is both a workbook and an experience. It's based on Philip DeVol's Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-by-World: Building Your Resources for a Better Life. Participants, called Investigators, work in groups to examine the impact of poverty on themselves and their communities and to explore the world through the lens of economic class. Their investigations produce information that is needed to design successful approaches to ending poverty and building sustainable communities. The Investigators create plans to build their own resources and come to the decision-making and planning tables in their communities as fellow problem-solvers with people from all classes, races, sectors, and political persuasions.
The Getting Ahead Network is designed for Getting Ahead Investigators, facilitators, and sponsoring organizations. It's a place where we can celebrate successes at the individual and community level. We can tell stories, share best practices, and help each other improve the workbook and the investigative and learning experience. This website shares the inspiration and the tools needed to prepare ourselves for ending poverty and building communities where everyone can do well.
