DESCRIPTION:Step into the shoes of a family with limited financial resources during this powerful 3-hour interactive simulation. Participants will assume the roles of individuals navigating the daily realities of poverty, facing unexpected challenges, and limited resources. Throughout the experience, they’ll interact with community systems, including schools, social services, banks, employers, and law enforcement.  This immersive simulation goes beyond statistics, offering a human perspective on poverty that fosters empathy, challenges assumptions, and builds stronger, more compassionate connections with students and families experiencing economic hardship and homelessness. By understanding the barriers poverty creates, participants will be better equipped to remove obstacles to learning, strengthen student engagement, and support pathways to academic success. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your perspective, enhance your ability to identify students experiencing homelessness, and support students and families in need. Register now to reserve your spot.
