“Privilege is not in and of itself bad; what matters is what we do with privilege.” ~bell hooks

If we are to be quality educators and youth development professionals, it is imperative that we are not only aware of our privilege, but stand in constant reflection and assessment of how that privilege impacts the way that we interact with people, especially when it comes to youth development work. The potential of our impact on a child’s life is massive. A single word can change their lives for the better or for the worse. In this workshop, you will explore your own identity with regard to power and privilege and develop a deep mindfulness in your work with youth that helps you to be a transformative interrupter of cycles of internalized and systemic oppression. All levels of staff are welcome.

This workshop is in 3 parts across 3 days.
