This training will introduce you to the Community Voice Blueprint, a four-stage process for engaging with historically marginalized communities.
Virginia Community Voice encourages organizations to reevaluate how they engage marginalized communities.
Virginia Community Voice offers leaders a simple framework for how to equitably make decisions, and engage people of color and other marginalized groups. Using this model, organizations can maximize impact and minimize harm caused to people in historically marginalized communities.
In this two-hour virtual training, participants will:
- Learn about the four stages of the Community Voice model of engagement: Listen, Connect, Craft, and Reflect
- Reflect on their own experiences making decisions about and engaging people in historically marginalized communities
- Consider the difference between intent vs. impact in our volunteerism, research, investments, or programming
- Learn strategies for maximizing impact and minimizing harm in decision-making and engagement
