The purpose of this form is to gather information to make it easier to schedule your upcoming simulation! Please be sure to complete the form below so we are able to contact you for further information, as well as to get your simulation scheduled.

Simulations:

Community Action Poverty Simulation: The Community Action Poverty Simulation was created by the Missouri Community Action Network. The Community Action Poverty Simulation is a tool that helps participants rethink the challenges that millions of low income individuals must face each and every day. More importantly, this tool helps people identify areas of change that can directly impact the effects of poverty on individuals, families, and communities. This simulation lasts about three hours.

REALL Simulation: The Reality Enrichment and Life Lessons (REALL) Simulation was created by Ozarks Area Community Action Corporation. This simulation is hands-on, designed to challenge youth to think critically about how choices and decisions made in adolescence may have consequences in adulthood. This simulation lasts about two to three hours.

The REALL Simulation has two parts. The first part, the reactive life stage, lets participants experience the life of someone who made poor decisions during youth, with all simulated individuals having dropped out of high school, having some legal histories, and many seeking employment or have low paying jobs.

The second part of the simulation is the proactive life stage where youth are able to experience adulthood based on positive choices made during adolescence. All the simulated participants have graduated high school and chose to continue their education in some way which led them to be gainfully employed, earning a living wage. The participants get to experience saving month, less stress, and more.
