Cuyahoga Community College invites you to participate in a powerful learning experience that creates insight into the chronic crisis that consumes so many students. The poverty simulation experience is designed to help faculty, staff and administration begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month. It is a simulation, not a game. The object is to sensitize participants to the realities faced by low-income people.
