EQUITABLE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & DECISION-MAKING

This FREE training will introduce you to the Community Voice Blueprint, a four-stage process for engaging with historically marginalized communities.

In this two-hour training, participants will:

• Learn about the four stages of the Community Voice model of engagement: Listen, Connect, Craft, and Reflect

• Reflect on their own experiences making decisions about and engaging people in historically marginalized communities

• Consider the difference between intent vs. impact in our volunteerism, research, investments, or programming

• Learn strategies for maximizing impact and minimizing harm in decision-making and engagement

This training is offered in a virtual setting, open to the public, four times per year.

This training is also available by request, and can be customized to meet the needs of your organization.
