UNIVERSITY OF THE POOR

The University of the Poor is the educational arm of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, and is concerned with the unity and development of the leaders of the Campaign.  It is a web-centered, community-based institution dedicated to educating and training leaders in the movement to end poverty.

Since its inception, the University of the Poor has shared education tools with grassroots anti-poverty groups across the nation, has helped link media professionals, performing artists, social workers, members of the religious community, and labor organizations with the movement to end poverty, and has facilitated the exchange of knowledge between poor people and their allies across the globe.
