Join us for our "First Wednesdays" lunch and learn series from 12:00-1:00pm EST. Equity is lifelong work. We're in it with you.

First Wednesday Schedule

Join us for lunch and informal conversations related to community engagement, equity, and working with communities. Our goal is for this to be a place to share our knowledge and also hear from you about challenges and successes you’ve had with community engagement at your organizations. We’ll also do some breathing and body movement, so you’re getting exercise, hanging out with like-minded colleagues, and eating. A perfect combination. See you there!

Registration is encouraged (you’ll get the helpful reminder emails) but not required.

Organizational Equity Improvement process

In this 6-9 month, completely personalized process, organizations work with Virginia Community Voice to assess your approach to equity, with a particular focus on racial equity and engagement within historically marginalized communities.

We will guide your team through a process of identifying how your organization makes decisions about historically marginalized groups, and how well you are sharing power with them.

We will look at how your team communicates with Black and BIPOC communities and incorporates the voices of directly impacted people into your decision-making; and, we will suggest strategies for reducing barriers for more inclusive, and effective, community engagement.

Collectively, our team has more than 100 years of community engagement experience. Come learn with us!
