Poverty Simulation Experience

NOTE: If you are a Tri-C employee, .

Cuyahoga Community College invites you to participate in a powerful learning experience that creates insight into the chronic crisis that consumes so many students. The poverty simulation experience is designed to help faculty, staff and administration begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month.

It is a simulation, not a game. The objective is to raise participants' awareness of the realities faced by low-income individuals. If you are passionate about creating positive change, please register to participate in this immersive experience.

To ensure the integrity of the experience, we ask that participants refrain from seeking additional information before the simulation. We aim to offer an authentic experience that sparks thoughtful reflection.

The Poverty Simulation Experience will:

Promote Poverty Awareness: During the simulation, role-play a month in poverty and experience the lives of low-income families.

Increase Understanding: After the simulation, you will unpack your learning and brainstorm community change.

Inspire Local Change: Together, you can be a voice to end poverty in your family, friends and community.

Parking is free at Cuyahoga Community College's Jerry Sue Thornton Center on 2500 E. 22nd St., Cleveland, OH 44115.
