Poverty Immersion Learning Experience
The Poverty Immersion is an interactive workshop that changes attitudes and challenges stereotypes about people who are facing poverty – paving a pathway toward professional growth and organizational transformation. Although it uses play money and fictional scenarios, the Poverty Immersion is a role play – not a game. It is a powerful experience that takes only three hours but makes a lasting impact. What you learn about poverty may surprise you.
Ripple Effects Mapping
Developed by WSU faculty, Ripple Effects Mapping is a versatile, participatory evaluation tool designed to capture the impacts of complex, difficult to measure projects and programs in a highly visual way. Data from the map can be analyzed to support an organization’s needs for reporting, grant writing, and future planning.
Visioning for a Greener Future
This workshop explores the impacts of climate change on a healthy community and examines a group’s current and future potential to support thriving, healthy communities, families and individuals. It can help and organization assess and report on existing activities, recognize gaps and discover new opportunities to bring climate-related efforts to the forefront.
