More about this event:

Often those who are most impacted by a problem have the best insight into how to address it, but just as often, those people are not at the decision-making table. It is crucial that we can come together across differences to benefit from all the perspectives, wisdom, skills and resources in our communities, in ways that leave everyone feeling respected, appreciated, and connected. 

In this day-long training, we will build a shared understanding together of how poverty and inequality work at individual, community and systemic levels - not only how people act and why, but also how community patterns, organizational policies, and government structures can constrain choices and keep inequalities in place. We’ll explore tools for addressing inequality in all our different roles in the community, and for collaborating to have a positive impact greater than we could have separately.

We are investing in this training as a pilot for our community to more deeply embed skills and principles for cross-class collaboration toward equity and justice in the service-providing ecosystem.
