C.O.P.E. (Cost of Poverty Experience)

Experience Poverty. Build Understanding. Inspire Change.

Did you know that nearly one in two local households cannot easily afford standard daily life? Through the Cost of Poverty Experience (C.O.P.E.), you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to navigate daily life while living in poverty. This immersive simulation will challenge you to

• make difficult decisions
• navigate everyday barriers
• and experience how limited resources can impact family stability.

By participating, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of the challenges facing members of our community that can help how you lead, serve, and engage with others.

Leadership Palm Beach County, in partnership with Pathways to Prosperity, invites you to step into the experience and see poverty through a different lens.
