When “Woke” Isn’t Welcome: Embracing a Systems Approach to Justice Work

Virtual Training

Webinar

Outdoor organizations are increasingly struggling to navigate how (and if!) to use phrases like “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion,” and “woke.”

Once innocuous words have become synonymous with certain politics, belief systems, and principles. As the idea of DEI increasingly comes under scrutiny, it’s a good opportunity to revisit their original meaning, how that meaning has evolved, and the principle at the center of all of them: “Justice.” 

This workshop will focus on using a systems-approach to better shape an organizational  justice strategy. We will spend some of the time on strategic program development, and some of the time on curricular and training tools that center the concept of justice.  There are no easy answers, and even less uncertainty - gather with peers to explore how we can honor our values at the same time we honor the needs of our students, programs, and funders.
