Studies show that poverty and education go hand and hand. Almost half of all Americans who are born into poverty and did not receive a college degree stayed in the lowest income bracket, while only 16% of those who earned a degree did not see an increase in their own income compared to their parents.
Wesley House understands this link and we are consistently working with the community to assess education needs for all ages. We work to provide or connect community members to needed classes, groups, or programs to combat the link between poverty and education.
Wesley House staff can provide various education programming. We can speak to groups, churches, businesses, or individuals. We can speak on topics such as child abuse, human trafficking, sexual assault, violence prevention, and more. Just email us at info@wesleyhousemeridian.org for more information or to request a speaker from Wesley House.
