Community Action Poverty Assimilation
Beth Gambone, Community Engagement Manager
Community Services for Children
Do you know what it’s like to live in poverty? Do you how life is for individuals who must deal with agencies, grocers, pawnbrokers, bill collectors, potential employers, police and criminals as they tried to satisfy basic needs and maintain shelter? The Poverty Simulation is a highly interactive and unique experience that allows participants to step into real life situations which a person living in poverty might experience. Participants will walk a “month” (four 15-minute periods, each simulating one week) in the shoes of someone living in or facing poverty.
