The educational and networking opportunities at Acton University are a unique feature of the AU experience that you won't want to miss.

The PovertyCure team will be sharing a session of the upcoming PovertyCure curriculum, "Rethink Poverty". This seven-part curriculum will offer small groups, educators, pastors, business leaders, churches, and schools an in-depth means of studying and discussing poverty alleviation. Pre-orders for this curriculum will be taken at AU.
