Community Action Poverty Simulation
2024-08-15 14:00 - 17:00
On Thursday, August 15th from 2-5 pm, there will be a unique (and free) learning opportunity offered to our community! A Community Action Poverty Simulation, which will be facilitated by Sue Monson of MAHUBE-OTWA Community Action.
This event will provide participants a chance to experience the struggles and hurdles people face struggling with poverty. People will be assigned life scenarios and time is broken into four 15-minute rounds, representing each week of the month. By the end of the “month,” the goal is for the person or family unit to acquire needed services, pay bills, make sure they had food and other necessities, and (depending on goals/scenarios) go to work, get kids to school, obtain higher education, and maintain order in their lives.
After the simulation is complete, there will be a time for debriefing so participants can talk about their experiences. We hope that this event will provide everyone involved with a better understanding of the barriers that people in poverty are up against and promote positive change where possible. CEU’s will be available for this event.
To register, please go to https://forms.office.com/r/YzJErVY0Fc or email amym@kootasca.org. Deadline to sign up is Friday, August 9th but they may be able to sign up a few more by Monday the 12th.
