Time:

1pm-4pm

Session Details:

Power and privilege are becoming increasingly visible words in today’s vernacular, but do you understand how they work in your organization? We invite you to join us for a three-hour workshop that delves into the relationships between power, socialization, privilege, and equity. This is a hands-on, team-based* workshop where you will choose a program or initiative in your organization and collectively map how relationships of power are influencing that program. We will then explore how your team can begin shifting power in your organization and programs.

During the Training, you will:

• Identify different expressions and faces of power
• Utilize strategies to move through discomfort and stay engaged
• Analyze power and influence in programs and projects
• Co-create ideas and practices to shift towards shared power and leadership

Uncomfortable conversations may seem daunting, but they are important for the nonprofit sector to grow. While very few of us choose our privileges or power, we are in control of whether those concepts cause harm to ourselves or the community. Through this course, you can begin the journey to unraveling systematic injustices in your organization. Register now to secure your spot!

Who’s Invited:

• This workshop is for people at all levels of formal and informal structures who want to critically examine their personal and organizational relationship with power and privilege. Participants should be open to engaging in discussions and activities that may be uncomfortable or challenging.

*A team can be a project team, a department team, cross-organizational groups, or anyone that wants to work on systems change together. If you do not have a team to attend and want to attend as an individual, just let us know, so we can incorporate your participation.
