May 2017 Anti-Discrimination Trainings In All Five Boroughs!
With the support of Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and the New York City Council, Project Reach presents Anti-Discrimination Trainings in all 5 NYC boroughs.
In light of all that has ensued since the Trump election, Project Reach has been getting an overwhelming number of requests to address the fear, violence and increased discrimination that many of our school and community organizations have been facing.
Project Reach's anti-discrimination trainings provide a time and space for incredibly diverse communities to come together to talk about our differences, examine what we call "identity destruction" and begin to sort out those root causes of inter-group tensions, bullying, bias and individual and community disempowerment.
While our trainings help participants make sense of discrimination and injustice, more importantly, our interactive and participant-centered activities aim to strengthen identity and build community for all those who participate.
These trainings are for Principals, teachers, guidance counselors; Executive Directors, service providers, social workers, after-school staff; Parents and guardians of schools and community-based organizations.
A parallel series of Anti-Discrimination Trainings for young people will follow in mid-May and June 2017.
Feel free to register for the Training in your borough (where you work or live) or the Training that best fits your schedule.
Time and space are limited so please sign-up as soon as possible.
