Welcome to Getting Ahead Network
ImageGetting 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

The Getting Ahead Network website shares the inspiration and the tools needed to prepare ourselves for ending poverty and building communities where everyone can do well.
