Using an evidence-based poverty alleviation curriculum, individuals attend an 8-10 week long Getting Ahead class in a cohort of 12-14 people meeting once or twice per week, followed by Life Skill Coaching with certified coaches for as long as needed.

Individuals identify resources, tools, and skills needed to remove barriers to success in their lives. Participants, aka "Investigators", investigate the root causes of poverty and how to make changes needed in their lives toward stability and self-sufficiency, through learning soft skills, SMART goal setting, building assets, decreasing debts, increasing salary and wages, learning and discussing hidden rules of economic classes, learning emotional regulation, and much more.
