"Poverty is a humanity issue that looks different for everyone; however, solutions from a holistic perspective make a difference when viewed through the eyes of leadership," said Dr. Dorsey, who has authored over 100 publications and a 20-book series entitled Breaking the Cycles of Poverty.

The institute's curriculum covers cultural competency, systemic impacts, and evidence-based practices for disrupting generational poverty across diverse populations. Participants will engage in experiential learning scenarios that build empathy and understanding about the interrelated challenges of poverty. They'll also gain tangible skills for developing and implementing sustainable anti-poverty initiatives within their spheres of influence.

"For years, many well-intentioned top-down approaches to poverty have lacked the critical wisdom and leadership of those closest to these challenges," Dr. Dorsey explained. "DTD's Breaking Poverty Cycles Institute is filling that gap by preparing leaders to drive substantive change through authentic, grassroots-level application."
