What does it mean to live in poverty? Participate in a poverty simulation exercise where students, faculty and staff will be assigned roles as members of families.

• You will be assigned a role in a family.
• About 15 minutes of the simulation will be like a week in your life.
• You have to make ends meet….You have to pay the rent.
• In the end, we ask you to think about what you did, how you felt and what you learned about poverty.

The exercise will be conducted by Ronald Duncan, a community educator in Illinois, who has designed and conducted numerous poverty simulations. He is licensed by the Missouri Community Action Network.
