Wisdom from the field:
"The whole game is based on what it's like to be a VISTA and all these squares are meant to bring up experiences of a VISTA so we can coach them through the process or problem solve. One square is, "It's the end of the month and you're out of money until next week but you need food. What are the resources in our community where you could go and get food?' We outline that, problem solve that." --Kristi Piatkowski, CONNECT First 5 Service Corps (Orange, CA)
