Journeys to Equity: Becoming A Better Ally - Exponent Philanthropy

Journeys to Equity: Becoming A Better Ally

This two-part series will be offered on June 12-13, 2024. Whitney Parnell, founder/CEO of Service Never Sleeps (SNS), will facilitate this powerful program, offer guidance to participants, and create an environment where connections can be made with each other.

The allyship training is an empowering way to promote racial equity and justice as a lifestyle. The workshop will help you identify your areas of privilege and apply tools to be effective allies by centering people experiencing marginalization, self/mirror work, and influencing others. Using SNS’ CLAIM framework (Care, Learn, Act, Influence, Maintain), you’ll explore what it means to adopt an allyship lifestyle. Leave this workshop committed to the allyship lifestyle and prepared to facilitate change in your workspace.

You’ll be participating in two, 3.5-hour sessions for this active learning environment. Each session includes both presentations and small group discussions. The modules will not be recorded.

Due to the program format, the series is limited to 50 participants. The program has sold out in the past, so register today!

“The allyship workshop taught me how to use my privilege to center the people who have been marginalized and their experiences in order to create a world that celebrates our shared humanity.”
