egm trainings intentionally foster networking and collaboration between partners including faith communities, non-profits, municipalities, businesses, and community groups.
Poverty 101 isn’t just for our staff — it’s for anyone who wants to make a real difference in Everett.
Whether you lead a congregation or a company, you can bring this transformative workshop directly to your people.
For Churches
Your church already has a heart for the community. Poverty 101 gives your congregation the knowledge and tools to turn that compassion into meaningful, lasting impact. We’ll come to you — equipping your members to engage with their neighbors in poverty with dignity, wisdom, and genuine relationship.
For Businesses
Corporate social responsibility goes deeper than a donation. When your team understands the real dynamics of poverty, your company’s community engagement becomes more effective — and more human. Poverty 101 is a powerful professional development experience that changes how your employees see and serve Everett.
Poverty 101 and Special Meal Service opportunities are open to volunteers 14 and up with an accompanying parent/guardian.
Ongoing volunteer opportunities are open to adults 18 and up.
While we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for community service purposes, our volunteer program is not designed to accommodate mandated/elected community service requirements. We offer 6 hours of volunteer training almost every month, however we cannot guarantee available volunteer opportunities (specifically timeliness) in accordance with community service requirements.
YES! It is intended for everyone interested in doing relational poverty alleviation, improving their corresponding skills and/or training others in their organizations. Professionals and novices all benefit from this innovative workshop.
NO! Our goal was to develop workshops that are open and welcoming to persons of faith and those without faith. Workshops where attendees can discuss their faith and how it impacts their actions comfortably. Yet, attendees who are not persons of faith will feel welcome and benefit from participating in the workshops.
EGM’s poverty training targets both our heads and our hearts! Using years of experience and learning walking alongside those experiencing material poverty, the presenters facilitate a journey that focuses on relational poverty alleviation.
EGM trainings intentionally provide a space where networking and collaboration between unlikely partners such as faith communities, non-profits, municipalities, businesses, and neighborhoods is fostered and encouraged.
Poverty 101 & 201 are critical blocks to building cross-sector partnerships that result in a resilient, thriving community.
