Minors get trapped in poverty for a few reasons. One is that children younger than fourteen years old are unable to work to support themselves. Another is that teenage children may drop out of school prior to graduation. Without a diploma or GED it is increasingly difficult to find a good paying job.

If we want to help reduce poverty in America, we can donate our resources whether it is contributing financially to organized groups for fighting poverty or donating time and possessions. We can spend time serving in a local soup kitchen, we can donate canned goods or other food items. We can participate in food, clothing and toy drives for those less fortunate than ourselves. We can help poverty stricken individuals with recommendations for available jobs and help with interviewing
