We already know that in the U.S., there are pervasive racial disparities in health care, housing, employment, education, criminal legal, and more. It is also estimated that in 2050, people of color will no longer be a quantitative "minority." Can public policies and organizations afford to ignore these trends? How can public institutions better serve people of color and better adjust to the needs of changing community demographics? Join us to understand how you, a public service leader, can work to address racial disparities through public policy and service.

The interactive workshop is designed for people who work with clients who currently live in poverty. Participants will obtain a stronger foundation for understanding the dynamics of poverty—how it is created through the interaction of individuals within social systems and how individuals and families experience it. Participants gain insights from the points of view of individuals experiencing poverty as they explore the various kinds of poverty, reflect on their own socio-economic experiences, and talk first hand with a guest presenter who has experienced and survived homelessness and who willingly and honestly shares her perspectives and answers questions. Participants will have an opportunity to step into the shoes of people who live in poverty through pre-training assignments and in-class exercises. Upon completion of this training participants will increase their capacity to: • Build hope, connections, resources and opportunities to better assist clients in moving out and staying out of poverty No publisher amccain Location: Seattle 2012-01-25T01:11:11Z SOAR Event http://www.kcyouthdevelopment.net/events/symposium-on-racial-bias-and-the-criminal-justice-system SYMPOSIUM ON RACIAL BIAS AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM Thursday and Friday February 16 and 17, 2012 at Seattle University Piggott Auditorium and School of Law No publisher blboyce Audience: All community members 2012-01-31T19:50:09Z SOAR Event http://www.kcyouthdevelopment.net/events/building-community This lively workshop introduces participants to numerous community-building and relationship-building activities No publisher reginalum Audience: All community members Training Audience: Youth workers Audience: Program managers Level: All Location: Seattle 2011-08-11T16:03:44Z SOAR Event http://www.kcyouthdevelopment.net/events/facilitator-training-for-power-of-parents-workshop Learn how to make 30-minute presentations about underage drinking prevention to parents.

Too often, we get thrown into the role of facilitator without having been taught the fundamentals and/or had a chance to practice. In this workshop you will have an opportunity to both learn and practice the fundamentals in a fun, interactive, and non-threatening environment.
