With gratitude

Built on the work of Dr. Ruby Payne and aha! Process

Getting Ahead and Bridges Out of Poverty, and the ideas behind this program, come from aha! Process, Inc., founded by Dr. Ruby K. Payne. We are grateful for their research and resources, which shape how Uplift Mid-MO walks alongside families in Audrain County.
