Ever wondered what it's like for American families living at or below the poverty level?

Want to know more?

Come participate in the POVERTY SIMULATION!

This poverty simulation was developed by the Community Action Partnership of Missouri and has been successful in the Pittsburgh area and around the country. In the simulation, participants assume the roles of different families facing poverty. The task of the “families” is to provide for their basic necessities and shelter during the course of four 15-minute “weeks”.

This activity is a simulation, not a game—by participating, you will gain a greater understanding of the difficulties a family faces when living in poverty.
