Role-play a Month in Poverty
Experience Low-Income Families’ Lives
Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you’ve experienced poverty, it’s difficult to truly understand.
The Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) bridges that gap from misconception to understanding. CAPS is an interactive immersion experience. It sensitizes community participants to the realities of poverty.
