$30.00
Event Date/Time: August 16, 2023, 10:00 – 11:30 am
Instructor: Shanya Luther, MDiv
Many organizations who are open and supportive of LGBTQIA+ people still unintentionally participate in thoughtless, discriminatory, or even oppressive practices in the day-to-day operation of their work. Making changes to be a more mindful, inclusive, and empowering place to work and seek services will help your organization.
In this training you will:
- Map out an organizational plan on how to talk about sexual and gender minorities
- Identify steps you can take as an organization to become educated regarding queer history, issues, and challenges
- Recognize how physical spaces, organizational systems, and staffing can be more inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly
- Consider how to share power and privilege within your organization to create more equity within your structures
- Discuss how your organization can get regular input from sexual and gender minority communities as to how welcoming and inclusive your services are
