I’ve been hired by the United Way of Massachusetts Bay to develop a two-hour experience for their donors and volunteers. During the Walk a Mile Experience, participants will discover what it might be like to live in poverty for a week. In collaboration with United Way experts, I will be developing multiple roles, “destinations,” and situations which will force participants to make choices as a person living in poverty. As a former AmeriCorps VISTA, I am excited to bring my storytelling abilities to this worthwhile endeavor.
