How GenSimU Works
GenSimU is a fast-paced, real-world life simulation implemented on a single-day or during multi-session workshops. Youth participate as simulated roommates, sharing a simulated household and navigating scenarios that mirror the real-world barriers affecting job readiness, job retention, and long-term stability.
Throughout the simulation, youth rotate through station hubs where they face short, realistic scenarios concerning hygiene, grooming, transportation, workplace expectations, and financial choices. Each scenario requires a decision, and youth receive a green, yellow, or red card based on the strength of their choice.
At the end of each simulated week, roommates count their green, yellow, and red cards to determine whether their simulated household is on track to successfully earn their physical GenSimU™ Wallet Card by getting hired, staying hired, and remaining in good standing with their employers.

GenSimU offers 3 structured options to ensure every organization can choose the level of support, materials, and facilitation that best fits their goals.
Level 1 - The Downloadable Print Simulation Kit
Instant downloadable access to the complete asset library so your team can print and run the simulation locally. This level is perfect for budget-conscious programs comfortable printing and running the simulation independently.
Your Organization Needs:
- Flexible Staffing: Volunteers or staff members to run the simulation hubs
- A Standard Room Setup: A large open space (multipurpose room or gym) equipped with tables and chairs
- Basic Office Access: Access to computer and printer for downloading and printing your simulation materials
- A Designated Lead: A lead facilitator to run the timed rounds and guide the youth debrief using the provided instruction manual

Level 2 - The Turnkey Mailed Box Kit
A fully assembled physical simulation kit mailed directly to your organization. All materials arrive printed, organized, and ready to start. This level is ideal for programs that have run simulations before and want a ready-to-use kit without needing on-site GenSimU facilitation.
Your Organization Needs:
- Flexible Staffing: Volunteers or staff members to run the simulation hubs
- A Standard Room Setup: A large open space (multipurpose room or gym) equipped with with tables and chairs
- A Designated Lead: A lead facilitator to run the timed rounds and guide the youth debrief using the provided instruction manual
