Human Service Forum's Workplace Equity: Creating a Culture of Belonging

This is a multisession series for organizations ready to take action in creating/enhancing their internal culture of equity.  HSF is bringing a multitude of voices to the table with a variety of engaging speakers including Ashley Coleman & Christina Gray from National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ), Janine Fondon, Lucie K. Lewis, & Jynaí McDonald.  Learn more about our presenters!

This series is designed for human service agencies to utilize cohort style learning to evaluate their current organizational culture and policies and use that information to create positive change. Organizations are encouraged to register in three person teams, however small agencies are encouraged to register with smaller teams if necessary.  Series topics include programs for executives, HR, and staff! One session will allow you to include a bonus board member on your team.  During our final session, agency teams will create an action plan for returning to their agencies and making meaningful change.  Teams will return for a post session gathering to report back on their successes and get feedback on their challenges.
