Call for Volunteers! WDMLA Poverty Simulation

Each year, the WDM Leadership Academy class members take part in a Poverty Simulation. To be successful, the simulation needs many volunteers to fill different roles. While this is an energizing exercise, you will also find it to be eye-opening, humbling and impactful. The simulation gives you real insight into the obstacles and barriers faced everyday by those living in poverty. It is a wonderful experience for everyone involved.


We have volunteer openings. You need no advanced training to participate. Details:
  • Date: Tuesday, March 1 
  • Time:
    • ​Instructions and role assignments begin at 1 PM 
    • Class arrives and simulation begins at 1:30 PM 
  • Location: Learning Resource Center, 3550 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines
Volunteers will primarily serve as “towns-folk”, i.e., bankers, teachers, employers, social service workers, police, etc. Some volunteers may also play the role of a family member facing poverty. You will be assigned roles when you arrive for the Simulation.
