CrossPurpose Job Training and Career Counseling
In our society today, when many Americans think about poverty, they tend to think in economic categories. You may have heard someone comment, “They just need to get a job!” as if that would solve the problem. While a good job may help someone escape poverty for a time, most cycle back in within 3-5 years. So, there is more at play than mere economics. When many people look at people in poverty, they say, “What’s wrong with you?” At CrossPurpose, we start with “What’s happened to you?” At CrossPurpose, we define our holistic approach as abolishing economic, relational, and spiritual poverty. |
