</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Pay It Forward Week Poverty Simulation this Thursday, April 4th, from 4:00-6:00pm in the Hale Center.
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">A poverty simulation is a powerful experiential learning opportunity where participants spend a simulated month experiencing the day-to-day pressures of living in poverty. After the simulation,
a collective debrief helps participants reflect on their experiences and learn more about how poverty affects communities as a whole. This experience helps students begin to understand the realities of poverty, and what communities can do to address those
realities collectively. This video shows an example of participants experiencing a typical simulation:

opportunity for service-learning students. Please forward this to your students and any colleagues who may be interested!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
