Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, . . . — “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers” by Emily Dickinson “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers” is a famous poem by Emily Dickinson that uses the metaphor of a bird to describe hope as a resilient, internal force that lives in the soul, sings wordlessly, and offers comfort in… Source
Upward mobility starts here: Strategies for inclusive economic growth
Aug 25, 2026 · original
Thriving communities are built when growth creates opportunity for everyone, not just a few. That belief is at the heart of my book, Economic Development That Benefits Everyone: Poverty Reduction Is a Key Strategy. For too long, poverty reduction and economic development have been treated as separate conversations. In reality, they are deeply connected. When communities intentionally remove… Source

Using the Bridges Out of Poverty model for community well-being
Jun 30, 2026 · original
When we talk about well-being, we often think about it at the individual level—mental health, finances, education, relationships, and the choices we make. But the truth is, stability cannot be built alone. If people are struggling with instability, it impacts the entire community. A person’s ability to thrive is shaped by their environment: their upbringing, their neighborhood… Source
Graduate spotlight: From quiet strength to compassionate leader
Jun 16, 2026 · original
The following is from Mona Ash, director of Burlington Building Bridges in Burlington, Iowa. When Kearston Peterson first joined us in Class 12, she came in quietly. While many in the class were naturally talkative and quick to share, she tended to sit back and observe. She was engaged and listening carefully but preferred to stay in the background. At first glance, you might have missed the depth… Source
Why my hidden rules are not enough to navigate life
Jun 2, 2026 · original
Many of us grow up believing that the way we see the world is simply “the way life works.” We learn how to make decisions, how to relate to others, how to handle money, and how to respond to challenges based on what we observe in our families and communities. These patterns become what Ruby K. Payne describes as hidden rules—the unspoken cues and habits that guide how people navigate daily life. Source
Connecting through food at Getting Ahead
May 18, 2026 · original
The following is from Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana. One of the most powerful aspects of the Getting Ahead experience is how learning extends beyond the curriculum and into relationships. That truth came to life during a recent session when a participant, called an investigator, chose to share a part of their cultural heritage—not through words alone, but through food. Source
