• Do you want to make a difference for your Neighbors who live in the crisis of poverty?

• Do you need to develop a deeper understanding of the many different life experiences of poverty?

• Would you like to develop best practices and tools for breaking poverty barriers, improving outcomes, and changing lives in your community?

• Would you like to increase your poverty competency skills—improving communication and relationships, as well as developing strategies for planning and creating systemic change?

This poverty awareness curriculum kit will serve to deepen and apply the learnings presented by Dr. Donna M. Beegle. The 7-video segments, along with the companion materials (participant guide and facilitator’s guide), are designed to assist individuals and organizations to go beyond addressing immediate needs (e.g., providing food boxes, temporary shelter, financial assistance with rent and utilities) to a more systemic approach for helping our Neighbors to move out and stay out of the crisis of poverty.


If Not Me, Then Who? Empowering Our Neighbors was produced by Emmy-winning documentarian George Rivera and in conjunction with St. Vincent de Paul's Atlanta Diocese.


John Berry's VISION to make If Not Me, Then Who?

Empowering our Neighbors materials .This is a great way into the Vincentian Hearts --- and from this workshop it leads perfectly into our desires to create experiences of change to a better world WITH our INCREDIBLE Neighbors - whose lives can gift ours and then together...we can Journey out of the crisis of life -- into a better tomorrow.
