Description

Partners in Prevention will host a Poverty Simulation, which is an immersive experience designed to help participants better understand the day-to-day struggle of living in poverty.  Participants become part of a "family" during the simulation and work together to problem solve true life issues (e.g., transportation, food, children in school, crime, paying rent and utilities) with limited resources. As a volunteer for the simulation, your role will be as a teacher, banker, pawn shop owner, social service representative, or others to help provide resources to the "families." A short training before the simulation begins will equip you with all you need to fulfill your role.
