Please consider volunteering for an upcoming Poverty Simulation scheduled for Friday, February 23rd. Poverty Simulations are an educational experience for both volunteers and participants, and they truly take a village to accomplish. Help students learn about the challenges people in poverty face in their daily lives. No experience is required, and multiple roles are needed.
