It will cover issues of unemployment, homelessness, disability, and a myriad of other factors that can contribute to living paycheck to paycheck. 2 ways to participate: 1) Just show up at 9am to learn and be a participant! 2) Volunteer to be a staffer. We are looking for people who have been in these situations and can speak from real life experience about the struggle to get ahead given certain life circumstances.
