The United Way Poverty Simulation is a unique and powerful experience which challenges perceptions, changes perspectives and strengthens understanding and empathy.
Participants experience a full range of encounters, obstacles and challenges, while volunteers populate the simulation as business owners, teachers, police officers, agency workers, service providers and government employees.
The simulation replicates a month in the life of a family living in poverty. The ultimate mission of each of these families is to provide food, shelter and other basic needs with a limited income.
Educators and community members are invited to take a bold step: walk a mile in the shoes of someone living in poverty in your community.
Parents and Community Members are invited to attend too
