For Professional & Volunteer Practitioners 

Preview COPE

Poverty through the eyes of real people... 

​​Walking in "their" shoes..., is an immersive role play learning experience that gives participants an opportunity to  experience poverty first hand through the scenarios of real families who lived them. It is designed for practitioners to see what the individuals  and families they serve experience as they navigate the system of helping organizations, governmental agencies and social challenges they face living in poverty. We offer this resource in partnership with Think Tank Inc., owners of The Cost of Poverty Experience™ (COPE)
