Poverty Simulation

Tuesday 1:30pm - 4:15pm

Past BMCC participants have stated: “FANTASTIC SESSION! A real eye-opener. Everyone should attend the Poverty Simulation” and “I have never been as challenged or inspired at a training session as I was in the Poverty Simulation- please bring it back next year.”

This interactive session that will get you out of your seat (and comfort zone) by providing an opportunity to experience the day-to-day realities of life with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress. During this simulation, participants will take on the identity of people living paycheck-to-paycheck, from single parents trying to care for their children to senior citizens trying to maintain self-sufficiency on Social Security. The task of each family is to provide food, shelter and other basic necessities during the simulation while dealing with real life stresses. If you work with vulnerable populations or want to better understand how public polices impact the lives of lower-income households, this is a session you will not want to miss.

DISCLAIMER: This is not like any other session. Due to the unique nature of this session, if you sign-up to attend, you will need to watch a pre-conference webinar to ensure a successful simulation. All participants MUST remain in the combined, 2-session simulation for the full 2 hours and 45 minutes.
