Get Involved

There are many ways to connect with Poverty Solutions, get involved in action-based research, and raise awareness of new ways to prevent and alleviate poverty. 

 

  • Attend an upcoming event to hear from diverse experts on various facets of poverty.
  • Subscribe to our monthly email newsletters to get the latest poverty research and news. 
  • Visit our YouTube channel to watch explainer videos on poverty issues and see recordings of past events. Subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss upcoming livestreams.
  • Follow us on LinkedIn to join the conversation about how to prevent and alleviate poverty. 
  • Give to support action-based poverty research.

As a research initiative, Poverty Solutions does not provide direct assistance to people living in poverty. In Michigan, you can contact 2-1-1 by phone or visit mi211.org to get connected to local resources.
