The Cost of Poverty - An Interactive Experience at Northwest Presbyterian

Join us at Northwest Presbyterian for an interactive experience to explore the impact of poverty on April 13th at 12:30, with an optional lunch at 12:00.

The Cost of Poverty Experience is a 2½-hour simulation that explores the lived experience of poverty firsthand through the eyes of real families. The experiential nature of this training helps organizations and communities more deeply understand the human and systemic impacts of poverty.

For years, many top down or well-intentioned approaches to poverty have left out the wisdom and leadership of those closest to the challenges. Created with the input of individuals with personal experience in poverty, COPE sheds light on these challenges and catalyzes meaningful dialogue and action. This experience challenges participants to rethink poverty, respond effectively, and partner with those affected for change.

This event is appropriate for ages middle school and up. Email Heather to sign up at HeatherFranklin@bcmgeorgia.org.
