Being familiar with concepts such as equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) should be a foundational part of non-profit work. But it is often the case that staff in the non-profit sector have not had the chance to fully explore these concepts in a way that renders them more actionable. Join this session to engage in a meaningful exploration of these concepts and how they intersect with the reality of non-profit work.

Thursday May 23, 9:30 am to 11:30 am (live online on Zoom).

 

Learning outcomes

• Explore the concrete impact that approaching non-profit programs and services through an EDI lens can have

Staff leading volunteers, volunteers leading other volunteers, and generalist staff working with volunteers.
