Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-By World is a workbook for
adults in poverty that shows them how to use the hidden rules of
class to build up financial, emotional, social, and other resources.
Understanding the hidden rules of the middle class and wealth, and
choosing to use them, can open doors to such resources as new
relationships and new jobs, among others.
Working in a group with a facilitator, adults who use this workbook
will develop a series of mental models to examine their own lives
and create new future stories. In 15-20 sessions the participants
explore the impact that poverty has had on them, investigate
economic realities, complete a self-assessment of their own
resources, make plans to build their own resources, and develop
a mental model of community prosperity.
