Thank you for your interest in Getting Ahead in A Just-Gettin'-By World!
United Way of North Central Oklahoma, the Community Health Foundation of Kay County, and the Kay County Health Department are proud to work alongside so many dedicated partners—including the United Methodist Church, Kristen Lawson’s Under My Wing with volunteers supporting child care, Coryell Cupboard, and many community partners—who are coming together to bring the Getting Ahead program to Kay County.
If you’ve spent part of your life—or most of your life—struggling to get by in the world, the idea of actually getting ahead might seem out of reach. But even if your story has been filled with barriers, vanishing opportunities, and setbacks, the next chapter can change all that. Yes, you have to write it, but you don’t have to do it alone.
In a facilitated group setting, Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-By World takes you step by step through a discovery of yourself like no other. It’s not just about how you got where you are now. It’s also about what comes next to build the life you want. Plus, this workbook helps you develop relationships with people who will support you all along the way.
You will investigate:
– The realities of conditions in your community and how they impact you
– Some of the “hidden rules” for getting ahead
– Skills that give you confidence to do what it takes to get ahead
– How to build resources and make connections at home and at work
– Ways to deal with change and create stability in your life
