Community Poverty Simulation

NAOMI, UW-Extension, Wausau School District

<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>The Poverty Simulation provides people from all backgrounds an opportunity to walk in the shoes of a low-income family for a few short hours. Participants receive an assigned identity and family proﬁle and experience “one month” of poverty compressed into the real time of the simulation. Volunteers play roles of community members who are vital to families. Afterward, a debrieﬁng occurs where participants share insights of extraordinary vividness and intensity. The result can be a very special kind of awakening. The power of this unique learning resource is that it creates an insight into the state of chronic crisis that consumes so many families.</SPAN></P>
