– COPE (Cost Of Poverty Experience) is a simulation that explores the lived experience of poverty firsthand through the eyes of real families. The experiential nature of this training helps people more deeply understand the human and systemic impacts of poverty.

– COPE challenges us to rethink poverty, respond effectively, and partner with those affected for change; deepen our understanding of the realities of poverty in America; improve approaches to better engage low-income individuals and their families.
