Racial Justice 101 for Nonprofits
November 5th, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join us on November 5th from 10 AM to 12 PM for a training session where directors, staff, and board members serving in the nonprofit sector can explore issues of racial justice. The session will cover why all nonprofits should be invested in issues of racial justice, what foundations must be in place for this work, how to avoid tokenism, and how to engage stakeholders in difficult conversations.
We are currently planning for this session to be in person at YWCA of Grand Island with social distancing parameters in place. All attendees must also wear masks. If COVID cases continue to rise, we will shift the session to be online via Zoom.
