Poverty Simulation
October 25 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
A Poverty Simulation is a facilitated, immersive experience designed to provide participants with a
glimpse of the realities of poverty. Participants assume the roles of “families” who do their best to survive
week‐to‐week over a simulated one‐month period. The simulation presents participants with real‐life
scenarios and challenges faced by impoverished people. The exercise is immediately followed by a
group debrief and discussion, during which participants reflect on the experience, discuss insights, and
consider the next steps.
