Nothing About Us, Without Us
October 13th, 2021
In recognition of World Homeless Day, the Back Door Mission and The Gap Committee hosted an event filled with interactive activities and guest speakers to help inform, educate, and empower our community on homelessness.
Over 50 participants enjoyed activities such as a life sized “Snakes and Ladders” board game where participants moved through the game depending on their given circumstances.
Snakes and Ladder Activity Example: You apply for an apartment, but you fail the credit check, proof of employment and cannot provide three references with
the application. Take three steps back.
