collaborative relationships with local organizations to
identify gaps in service and strategizing how to work
together. They also developed customized content with
input from the participants, which is consistent with an
asset-based community development approach.
Carol Polk, executive director and site coordinator,
said, “Without the support of the community, our partners
and sponsors, we could not deliver this high-quality
instruction to our participants. Cunently, we are selecting
women to participant in our next semester, which wifi
begin in August.”
Pivot’s community partners include Allegacy Federal
Credit Union, Ardmore Baptist Church, Financial
Pathways of the Piedmont (formerly Consumer Credit
Counseling), Forsyth Technical Community College,
Goodwill Industries of NWNC, Totally Responsible
Person (TRP), departments of Wake Forest Baptist

Lesson
from page B4
morality. So, to have integrity, then, we must live by Biblical ethic. Jesus makes it clear
that our choice of ethics and our morality must be integrated to establish and maintain
our integrity. We must not say and then fail to do. We must choose our ethic and live
to match it. “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked
paths will be found out.” (Proverbs 10:9)
