Program Description

Program Details

Participants in this simulation will play the roles of families "living on the edge" and attempt to provide a living for their family just above the poverty level. Afterwards, there will be a facilitated discussion between service providers about the challenges in our community.

All supplies and information will be provided. Contact anne.owens@vcstory.org for more information. To register, go to bit.ly/FamilyPovSim.
