The Solid Ground Communications team is looking for social media ambassadors to support our storytelling work.
About Solid Ground
We believe poverty is solvable. Our communities are stronger when we support stability and break down the barriers to overcoming poverty. That means ending racism and other oppressions embedded in our institutions, policies, and culture that hold people back from succeeding.
Solid Ground combines direct services with advocacy to meet basic needs, nurture success, and spread change. Through our programs, people gain stability and build skills that equip them to move forward in their lives. And by bringing the voices of people experiencing poverty into the political process, we further social justice, supporting our entire community to reach its potential.
