The Kenosha Society of St. Vincent de Paul will be starting Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin’ By World is an incredible 18-session program that encourages participants to build resources and create a plan for getting out of poverty and “Getting Ahead.” ​We hope to give people a chance to navigate changes, to set goals and to support them until they accomplish their goals. Getting Ahead not only supports participants in working towards their “future story,” but explores how all economic classes must work together to make the community a place where everyone can live.

If you or someone you know may be an interested person in such an endeavor, check the website information and sign up. The next set of 18 sessions begins on 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟏.
