Traverse Bay Poverty Reduction Initiative

National poverty expert Donna Beegle, PhD. talks about the importance of mentoring in helping people move out of poverty. Beegle spent 28 years living in poverty before a mentor helped her break the barriers of poverty. Other people affected by poverty also talk about how they've been helped by mentors. There's also a discussion about Team Work Northwest, a Poverty Reduction Initiative program that places mentors in the workplace to help people keep their jobs.
