We are proud to bring you this unique immersion experience created by the Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS). This experience is based on real CAPS clients and their lives. The goal is to help bridge the gap from misconception to understanding the reality of poverty.  

Promote Poverty Awareness

During the simulation, role-play a month in poverty and experience low-income families’ lives.

Increase Understanding

After the simulation, you will unpack your learning and brainstorm community change.

Inspire Local Change

Together, you can be a voice to end poverty in your family, friends and community.

Transform Perspectives

The goal of CAPS is to shift the paradigm about poverty away from being seen as a personal failure and toward the understanding of poverty as structural, a failure of society.

For more information please check out the The Poverty Simulation website.

Please contact Nancy Stauber to bring this immersion experience to your district!
