About COPE

Many organizations and communities across the nation use COPE to work more effectively with low-income families. COPE gives participants and volunteers an opportunity to experience poverty firsthand through the eyes of real families. The experiential nature of this training helps organizations and communities more deeply understand the complexities of poverty, paving the way for addressing the issues of poverty more comprehensively.

COPE is a tool that will help your team:

• Deepen their understanding of the realities of poverty in America.
• Improve practices and approaches to better engage low income individuals and their families.
• Build partnerships with the broader community to improve outcomes for low-income families.
