For the JEDI-Curious
Is your organization keen to implement JEDI initiatives, but not sure where to start? Or, have you started JEDI projects that fell off the table in the face of other organizational priorities?
Twice per year we'll present free 90 minute Webinars to our entire community of ENGOs to introduce key JEDI issues and barriers in the ENGO sector and provide opportunities to explore 'hot takes' with your peers and to explore how we can help you take the next step.
JEDI Foundations Lab
The JEDI Foundations Lab is designed for organizations who are ready to explore strategies specific to policies, processes, and culture, and discuss how to use inclusion principles to bring a transformative lens to their organizations.
Each spring and fall these six 90 minute online Meetings (25 people max) introduce ENGO leaders to the challenges faced by equity-deserving communities such as BIPOC, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, and 2SLGBTQIA+.
Session 1: Psychological Safety & Intersectionality
Session 2: Privilege, Guilt, & Fragility
Session 3: BIPOC Challenges
Session 4: Disability and Neurodivergence Challenges
Session 5: 2SLGBTQIA+ Challenges
Session 6: From Learning to Organizational Transformation
JEDI Community of Practice
JEDI Lab graduates become part of our burgeoning JEDI Community of Practice, designed to keep up the learning momentum and deepen peer networks. Small groups of ENGO leaders with foundational information under their belts meet online monthly to share JEDI joys and challenges, get advice and support from peers on how to maintain momentum on JEDI initiatives and very likely make some friends along the way.
All JEDI Community of Practice programming is free of charge and we are currently offering the following:
· Monthly Community Calls
· Monthly Reading Club
Occasional training courses limited to COP members:
· JEDI Through the Employment Cycle (6-sessions)
· Supporting Neurodivergent Staff (3-sessions)
· Episodic Disabilities (1-session)
· Virtual Asynchronous Platform: under development
For BIPOC Ears Only
With BIPOC ENGO staff experiencing numerous workplace challenges which contribute to high turnover rates, we heard a strong need from the sector for a brave space where they can share challenges freely. A free, virtual, monthly space, only open to BIPOC in the ENGO sector. They are free to attend but registration is required.
Get to know your peers, share challenges of being BIPOC while working in the ENGO sector, and explore specialized topics of discussion.
Indigenous staff are also welcome to attend the Indigenous Ears Only program (add link please) which is a part of our Decolonizing ENGO-First Nations Partnerships program.
