Out-of-School-Time Collaborative partners and guests will dig deeper into culturally competent practices for reaching and supporting youth involved in community programs. Tanya Bass will be leading this training. For questions or to RSVP, email Meghan Smith.

Objectives: By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• recognize how history, historical policies and often government influence are directly related to overall health and wellness for all populations

• analyze how justice (racial, social, reproductive etc.) can impact delivery of youth support services;

• recognize that systems of privilege and oppression exist, and how those systems impact young people.
