A Community Experience (also known as COPE) is an immersive role-play simulation that allows you to walk in the shoes of a community organization or neighbor so you can:
- Understand our shared vision for flourishing.
- Acknowledge that we all have a role to play.
- Experience the day-to-day realities of families dealing with significant challenges of every kind.
- Debrief with other community members examining the same.
- Discover opportunities for personal and organizational action to address challenges in our communities.
