Please
Join Us 
for our upcoming
Learning with 
the Learning Community
National Webinar Mini-Series
Over the course of the last 16 months, more than 120 Community Action Agencies from across the country have been actively engaged in one of our five closed Learning Community groups (LCGs). These groups have been focused on a variety of innovative and promising anti-poverty approaches, from bundling services to family financial empowerment to trauma informed approaches, and they are finally ready to report out to the Network.

The LCRC is proud to announce our new Learning with the Learning Community National Webinar Mini-Series Alleviating the causes and conditions of poverty is the "heart" of what the network of Community Action does. Because the needs of low-income families are ever evolving, Community Action approaches to eradicating poverty must be adaptive and impactful. Join us at our upcoming events to hear from participating agencies about their successes and challenges, and also to have an opportunity to learn more about the work that these agencies have contributed to helping the network fight poverty more effectively.
 
Please mark your calendars for the webinar events listed below:
Webinar Schedule

Tuesday, March 21 2 pm ET - 
Rural IMPACT

Attend  this webinar event for an opportunity to explore emerging anti-poverty approaches  as it relates to rural generational poverty  through our work with the Rural IMPACT demonstration project.

The Rural Integration Models for Parents and Children to Thrive (IMPACT) Demonstration works to make systems change in rural communities to implement a focused and intentional two generation approach to addressing poverty. An initiative of the White House Rural Council, the project aims to help communities adopt a two-generation approach to addressing the needs of both vulnerable children and their parents. The project has identified a group of 10 rural and tribal communities who are working together with the assistance of federal agencies and technical experts to adopt a comprehensive, whole-family framework for addressing child poverty.

At this webinar, we will be hearing from two of the demonstration sites, Allegany Human Resources Commission from Cumberland, MD and the Community Caring Collaborative in Machias, ME. Presenting from these organizations will be Courtney Thomas, the Executive Director of Allegany HDRC, and Charlie Martin-Berry, the Executive Director of the Community Caring Collaborative.
