This interactive workshop, built with respect and safety in mind, invites you to gain firsthand insights into the realities of living with limited resources. Navigate challenges related to housing, food, healthcare, and transportation within a simulated low-income community. Through role-playing, foster empathy and understanding around systemic barriers to economic stability. Leave with not just knowledge, but also actionable strategies to advocate for positive change and empower individuals. This experience isn't about walking a mile in someone else's shoes; it's about opening your heart and mind to understand the world with empathy and a commitment to action.
