Poverty Simulations

Faculty from WSE will be offering three Poverty Simulations this spring. This is the third year we are able to offer this experience to our students. Over 600 students and community members have participated in one of 10 simulations to date. In addition, faculty have offered the simulation for staff in three of our partnership schools.

This simulation is taken seriously and is not a game. It is an opportunity for participants to get a glimpse into some of the challenges families living in poverty face every day. It is not intended to offend anyone or replicate specific experiences.

Students need to register individually or they will not be admitted to the simulation. There are limited spaces open for each session. We need at least 40 students registered to participate in each session and a minimum of 15 volunteers to help run the simulation. We ask that faculty who do require this experience for their students also participate in at least one simulation as a volunteer. students are encouraged to also volunteer to help with the simulation. Please consider volunteering if you have already participated in the simulation or if you would like to learn more about it.

  • Tuesday, February 7, 2012
  • Thursday, March 1, 2012
  • Wednesday, April 11, 2012

All sessions will be 5 p.m. for volunteers, 5:30 for participants-Room 162. Please make sure your students know the simulation takes a minimum of 2 hours and they must be present for the entire simulation. Students should arrive on time.
