Poverty Simulation
June 27, 2014 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
Just Harvest will be helping to run a large poverty simulation for over 130 mental health caseworkers. Help us make this event a huge success as part of Hunger Awareness Month!
We need about 30 volunteers to help out at the event. Volunteers are each given a unique role – teacher, grocery store cashier, caseworker, employer – and given instructions about how to interact with participants. Each volunteer will be given their packet upon arrival and we will do the training on-site before the simulation begins at 9:00am.
Continental breakfast will be provided at the hotel. If you need transportation to the Monroeville DoubleTree Hotel, we will be carpooling from the Just Harvest office at 7:30am.
About Poverty Simulations:
The Community Action Poverty Simulation is a unique and powerful tool that deepens understanding of poverty. Developed by the Missouri Association for Community Action, participants role-play a member of a low-income household and discover the difficulty and stressors of trying to meet a families basic needs when expenses are more than income.
