Brightpoint is currently looking for volunteers to serve in the resource roles at our next poverty simulation in Allen County. The simulation was designed to help people understand what it is like to live in poverty. We partner with groups and organizations to host these events at their locations. Those participating are assigned roles of fictional family members and live through a month of poverty based on their family's situation. Volunteers are used to fill the roles of community resources (bank, employer, social services, etc.) The participants have to interact with the community resources to meet their needs for the month. No experience is necessary, all the instructions for volunteers will be given prior to the event!
