Poverty Simulation
Thursday, April 27, 2023 @ 9:00am - 12:00pm
The Madison County Chamber of Commerce, the Madison County UGA Ext Office, and M.A.R.T. are partnering together to offer a Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) the morning of Thurs, April 27th from 9 am to 12 pm at Colbert Baptist Church. The simulation is sponsored by Jackson EMC and MedLink.
The simulation is a unique tool that can be used to educate everyone, from policy makers to local community leaders, about the typical day-to-day strategies of a low-income family trying to survive, day-to-day, with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress.
Both volunteers and participants are needed for the simulation to be a success. Those interested in volunteering can contact Brad Averill at bradley.averill@uga.edu and Sherry Deakin at connect@madisoncofc.net. Individuals interested in participating in the simulation can use the link below to register.
