COPE: COST OF POVERTY EXPERIENCE »
COPE is an empathy building, bias breaking, poverty simulation. In just 3 hours it allows you to live a month in the life of a low-income family.
We have seen that COPE gives a better understanding of what it is actually like to live in poverty, enabling you to serve with empathy and understanding.
*The price of a COPE ticket is $50 for nonmembers, $25 for members of Compassion Coalition.
WHAT TO EXPECT »
You might step into the role of:
- An exhausted single mother struggling to put food on the table
- A lonely senior citizen who must choose between rent and medication
- An unemployed father struggling with addiction
As you navigate the simulation, you see the world through their eyes. You feel the chaos and the anxiety of poverty.
