Walk in the shoes of someone who is struggling with poverty for a few hours
About this Event

Deepen your understanding of what it means to live in poverty & ignite your desire to be part of the solution.

Poverty simulations are designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live as a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month. It is a simulation, not a game. The objective is to sensitize participants to the realities faced by low-income individuals and families.
