2019-05-30T14:41:30-04:00May 28th, 2019|Events, Training Opportunities|

What is a budget really meant to communicate? What can those financial reports really tell me about my work and/or the organization?

Do you want to better understand what all those rows and columns of numbers mean and how you can use them, then join us for this session. An organization’s budget tells a much bigger story than just money in and money out. Those reports about activities, cash flow, and balances open doors to important information about how an organization conducts its business.

This session provides clarity on how these financial tools and the processes associated with them can serve you, even if you don’t think you are a numbers person.

When: June 13, 4-6pm
Where: The Writer’s Center, (4508 Walsh St., Bethesda)
RSVP HERE

This program is a collaboration with Young Nonprofit Professionals’ Network.

Safe Spaces for LGBTQ+ Individuals: How to Be An Ally

2019-05-05T18:23:41-04:00May 7th, 2019|Events, Training Opportunities|

The Safe Space workshop is a dynamic and hands-on approach to creating safe space for all; focusing specifically on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA) community. From the classroom bully to the unintentional exclusion by the use of certain language, LGBTQIA people frequently find themselves excluded and uncomfortable in a variety of settings.

This workshop aims to reduce the often unwelcoming and even hostile environments in which LGBTQIA people navigate in their daily lives. Workshop participants will explore their role and responsibility in creating a more welcoming environment at work, school, and in our communities. All attendees will leave the workshop with greater understanding and workable solutions for promoting Safe Spaces of Respect, Acceptance, and Support for all.

Through the workshop participants will:

  • develop an understanding of the lived experiences of LGBTQIA people through current statistics and examples.
  • be able to identify sources of unwelcoming behaviours in a variety of settings.
  • become more familiar with and comfortable in using LGBTQIA-inclusive terminology.
  • learn to dispel negative stereotypes and develop strategies to create a more welcoming and inclusive environments for LGBTQIA people.
  • be able to recognize many of the issues and scenarios that LGBTQIA people experience in their workplace, community, or school and formulate effective responses.
