Workshops: Engaging The Issues

United Ministries is pleased to offer two distinct workshops for those interested in the fight against poverty in the United States today. Our first, Understanding Poverty in the Classroom, is geared toward public school teachers, who interact daily with underprivileged children, while our second, Loving Our Neighbor, is a more general session for those interested in doing what they can to alleviate the suffering in our community and our world.
