About the event
This 2.5-hour event challenges participants to navigate the complex realities of poverty by stepping into the shoes of someone else's life for a simulated month.
Each participant will be assigned a unique persona - including name, age, gender, physical health, and financial situation. You might be an elderly person struggling with chronic asthma, or a high school student with a propensity for skipping school. The object is to remove participants from their normal setting and create an alternative life simulation.
The goal? To finish the month with your bills paid and your family fed.
Spots are limited, and registration closes on January 28th, so don’t wait! Join us for this thought-provoking experience and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges many people face every day.
