More Details

The poverty simulation, which is facilitated by ATLAS liaison Kim Snell, is a three-hour exercise in which participants are divided into families. ATLAS is Rutherford County Schools’ program to assist families who are homeless or in transitional housing.

Each “family” receives a packet that includes name badges, bios, background information and a recap of their family’s financial status that includes their monthly spending allowance and foreseeable expenses.

The simulation represents one month and is divided into four weeks.

The packet outlines various tasks each family must accomplish throughout the month.

Please commit to attending the full 3 hours, and come hands free (no bags). If you must bring a cell phone, please have a pocket.
