Equity and Access

It is more important than ever for Youth Development Professionals to use an equity lens and increase access for all of our youth to high quality OST Programming.  Cultural Proficiency:  A Way of Being and Gender Dynamics will increase knowledge, skills, and competencies related to creating anti-racist, inclusive OST Programs.  

Picture
Cultural Proficiency is a "way of being" that allows individuals and organizations to interact effectively with people. It is a developmental approach for addressing the issues and opportunities that emerge in diverse environments. Our life journeys have been shaped by race and culture and often influence the way we interface with others. This 3-part video workshop will provide participants with insights and tools to support increased cultural proficiency in their roles working with youth, families, and colleagues. ​​



Picture
Through a deep dive into our own gender identity development, we will cover language & definitions for LGBTQ+ terms, and approaches & strategies for creating gender inclusive environments in youth programs and beyond. This training will focus mainly on gender identity formation for youth in grades 4 - 12.
​
This workshop will expand on the question:"What does gender have to do with it?", and provide space for participants to talk about and answer "What is gender and why does it organize so much of our lives?"
