Description
COPE stands for Cost of Poverty Experience. COPE gives participants and volunteers an opportunity to experience simulated poverty firsthand through the eyes of real families. The experience offers participants a glimpse into the lives of low-income individuals and families living in our community; the obstacles that are faced, the decisions that are made, and the consequences that impact these families every day.
The experiential nature of this training helps individuals more deeply understand the complexities of poverty. This paves the way for more meaningful and empathetic relationships and connections.
