Deepen your understanding of the issues that friends and neighbors in poverty face on a daily basis.

Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you've experienced poverty, it's difficult to truly understand. The Community Action Poverty Simulation bridges that gap from misconception to understanding. It is an interactive immersion experience. It sensitizes community participants to the realities of poverty.
