There is still time to join Common Heart, South Piedmont Community College, and THRIVE! Union for an interactive Poverty Simulation designed to provide a deeper understanding of the realities individuals and families face when navigating limited resources and difficult choices.
If you have been considering attending, now is the time to register before seats are gone.
This experience is especially valuable for professionals and community partners working in education, healthcare, human services, business, government, nonprofits, first responder services, faith communities, and other community organizations.
During the Poverty Simulation, participants will step into the experiences of families facing financial pressure and challenging circumstances—helping us strengthen empathy, deepen understanding, and consider how we can respond more effectively as a community.
Registration is required, and space is limited. Secure your seat today.
