Poverty Simulation
Notre Dame, in conjunction with Catholic Charities and Sacred Heart Community Service, hosted a poverty simulation in JB Hall. The simulation is part of a local campaign called Step Up Silicon Valley. The goal of the campaign is to cut the poverty rate in Santa Clara County in half by the year 2020. Students from six different local Catholic high schools participated in this extremely powerful experience that simulates a day in the life of a family or person living in poverty.
