A poverty simulation is set to take place in Lapeer County this week.
The simulation on Wednesday, April 24 at the Lapeer Education and Technology Center, located at 690 N. Lake Pleasant Road in Attica, is a unique experience designed to spotlight the struggles faced by individuals and families living in poverty.
The simulation will run from 8:30am to 4:00pm and is open to anyone over the age of 16. Participants will be assigned roles as members of a family living in poverty and will have to make decisions about how to spend their money and manage their resources.
The simulation is designed to be a realistic and eye-opening experience for participants. It is hoped that the simulation will help to raise awareness about the challenges faced by those living in poverty and will inspire participants to take action to help those in need.
