Exciting Collaboration and Upcoming Training
As we are all feeling the divisiveness of our current climate, we at Empower Montana are determined to continue building authentic, intentional, and positive relationships with other communities and agencies across Montana. That’s why we are so excited to get to collaborate with the awesome HOPA Mountain to provide an upcoming workshop!
The workshop will be on Strengthening Cross-Cultural Competencies on Friday, November 11 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in Bozeman at the C’Mon Inn.
This workshop, taught by Empower Montana Executive Director, Heidi Wallace, and Senior Trainer, Katie Koga, along with Hopa Mountain’s Executive Director, Bonnie Sachatello-Sawyer, will offer a series of experiential activities to help participants to become leaders in ending individual and institutional oppression by deepening self-awareness, increasing understanding of inequality, and developing intervention and ally skills. The cost of the workshop is $75, which includes lunch. A limited number of scholarships will be offered. For more information, please see the attached registration form. Email info@hopamountain.org or call (406) 586-2455 for more information.
This training session will support leadership at all levels to build positive spaces where colleagues from diverse backgrounds, life experiences and cultures feel valued and respected. Participants will learn how to create and support teams that can work effectively across group lines along with skills for working effectively with diverse participant groups and creating inclusive environments. Participants will deepen skills to promote an inclusive community, work and service environment for all.
