Starkville Bridges Community Training

February 22, 2013

For the day-long Community Training event, Jodi Pfarr, not-for-profit executive and presenter of Bridges Out of Poverty workshops, led the participants through a general overview of what the Getting Ahead class co-investigators go over in their classes.
