Experience what it's like to live in poverty. Take part in this life-changing experience with University of Illinois Extension. During this event, you'll step into the shoes of a low-income family member and experience the stark realities of living on a limited budget at our upcoming Poverty Simulation. Poverty is not a game; understanding its impact requires more than just empathy—it demands a firsthand encounter. Whether you're working with clients from diverse backgrounds or simply seeking to broaden your perspective, this life-changing experience offers a unique opportunity to delve into the daily struggles of those living in poverty. Please join us! Free Workshop | Lunch Provided Register at least one week before the workshop. Doors open at 8:30 AM, with the workshop running 9 AM-12:30 PM.
