Adults interested in reflecting on the realities faced by people living in economic poverty in our community are invited to participate in a Poverty Simulation Activity on:
This poverty simulation experience is designed to help participants understand what it might be like to be a part of 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 of life faced by low income people, while providing concrete suggestions for further advocacy.
