Marie Toney and the staff of Green Hills Community Action Agency encourage everyone to attend.
At the heart of every human relation is the desire to thrive. The Community Action Poverty Simulation will open your mind to truly understand the dynamics of working poverty.
The simulation will help neighbors, leaders, and communities to see how poverty feeds into cycles of teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, violence and incarceration.
The power of this unique learning resource is that it creates, like nothing else out there, insight into the state of chronic crisis that consumes so many working poor families.
Participants experience one month of poverty compressed into the real time of the simulation. Afterwards, in the debriefing, they share insights of extraordinary vividness and intensity. As a result bankers and ministers, teachers and clerks, ordinary people from all walks of life can share a very special kind of awakening.
Community Action believes that together we hold the keys to ending the cycles of isolation that destroy lives and sap the wealth of our communities. Armed with insight and united in our resolve, we can end poverty.
