Jan 23, 2026 to Jan 23, 2026
Join us for the Poverty Simulation Friday, January 23 at South Central Service Cooperative!
Poverty Simulations help promote a greater understanding of poverty. During the simulation, participants will experience the day-to-day lives of low-income individuals and families, thanks to volunteers who will act out different roles. Participants can include students, organizations, and policy makers. Help make a difference by volunteering to act out a role at South Central Service Cooperative's 2026 Poverty Simulation!
Volunteers are asked to arrive by 8am for training with the simulation concluding at 12:00 (noon). Assistance with clean up may be needed.
