Poverty Simulation-Grace Grapevine and Grapevine PD Outreach

The Community Action Poverty Simulation breaks down stereotypes by allowing participants to step into the real life situations of others. This simulation allows individuals to walk a month in the shoes of someone who is facing poverty and realize how complex and interconnected issues of poverty really are. Participants will take on the role of a member of a family facing a variety of challenging but typical circumstances. Each family is given a card explaining its unique circumstances and then tasked with finding food, shelter, and other basic necessities by accessing various community resources. Location TBD : Grapevine, Texas 76051
