A series of Volunteer Discussions: “Project Perspective – Supporting Our Youth in a Time of Heightened Social Injustice”
First up in the series is Conversation About Identity
Join us for an opportunity to gain insight & reflect on experiences that impact the youth we serve. This will be the first in a series of discussions that will explore topics of identity, equality, relationships, and how as a volunteer you can empower youth to use their voice.
We will begin to explore the complexity of Black identity in America and discuss how a history of preferences for shades and tones shape how minority youth see themselves . . .
*Spaces are limited. The first 15 people to sign up will be entered to win a COVID Stay Healthy Stay Home Survival kit. We welcome everyone to participate for a richer conversation and experience; after 15 we’ll start a waiting list for a second discussion, same topic.
