The P.O.W.E.R. Framework is a proprietary six part civil literacy course designed to teach practical life navigation skills that many people were never taught in school, at home, or in their communities. This course focuses on the application of civil, legal and financial literacy, not memorization of facts, but how to advocate for yourself, find accurate information, navigate systems, and make informed decisions when help is limited or unavailable.

There are select State and Government offices that provide support, such as the DAs office for child support, and court staff to assist in completing a restraining order, however any other civil issue an attorney is the only solution to navigate complex processes or to do it alone, often relying on misinformation, fear and urban myths instead of verified resources.

According to the 2017 report The Justice Gap: Measuring the Unmet Civil Legal Needs of Low-Income Americans published by the Legal Services Corporation, only about 20% of underserved communities actually respond to civil issues leaving 80% with undesirable and very real consequences including default judgement in some cases.

The P.O.W.E.R. Framework was created with underserved communities in mind, and is designed to bridge educational gaps by providing practical tools, confidence and actionable steps people can use immediately in everyday life.

The goal of this course is to teach my community how to source information, and spread techniques, self advocacy and courage, instead of fear and misinformation.
