| Gun Violence Awareness Month
June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. Everyday an estimated 100 people are killed with guns in the United States. Gun violence is not specific to one city, neighborhood, or state and ending gun violence is going to take all of us. Check out these resources for more information about firearm safety and responsibility, advocacy, and more.

| Poverty Simulations
CAPND conducts poverty simulations to large groups for educational purposes. The poverty simulation experience is designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month-to-month. It is a simulation, not a game. The object is to sensitize participants to the realities faced by low-income people.
Learn more about our Poverty Simulations here.
If you are interested in scheduling a simulation experience or would like a quote, please email us at info@capnd.org
