Volunteers needed
If you've got some time tomorrow, check out this volunteer opportunity for tomorrow. For what it's worth, going through simulations, such as this one, are very beneficial and educational. The one that I went through prior to joining the IHN of Athens board a few years back was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life ...
The Junior League of Athens is partnering with the (Clarke County School District) to assist with a poverty simulation for high school students this Friday at Lay Park. Organized by the YPPA, JLA has been working to fill all the “staff” roles during the simulation. 10 volunteers are needed.
The simulation allows participating students to learn what types of decisions a person living in poverty must make through a series of interactions with “staff” – volunteers will fulfill roles such as an electric company employee, a housing authority employee, or a pawn shop owner, for example.
I realize this is a very busy time of year – but the rewards someone will get just by giving her time for this effort will be priceless.
Approximately 100 Clarke County high school students will be participating in the simulation. Volunteers are invited to stay and have lunch at 12:15 pm with the students.
Again, the simulation is this Friday at Lay Park from 7:45 am (when the training will take place) until 12 noon. Dress is business casual. Anyone interested can email Alison Bracewell McCullick at amccull@uga.edu with “Poverty Simulation” in the subject line.
