Building Diverse Teams for Justice
This summer, join leaders from across Maryland for a training series on how to lead effective teams working towards justice.
Civil rights leader Ella J. Baker, labor leader Dolores Huerta, and Rabbi Sharon Brous knew that behind every great act of justice was a community of people working together sustaining the effort, sharing in the joy, and welcoming new members to the team.
If you’re looking to build or rejuvenate your team, come and join us—leaders from across Maryland—for a summer training series designed to help develop the skills needed to lead effective teams working towards justice. During the training, we will define and discuss “core teams” and their role in the decision-making process of our organizations. A core team is the team that connects your congregation or community to the broader work of our network and helps achieve your mission, while making our work fun and effective. We will also share creative strategies for how to build a core team.
Share the flyer with your congregation or community:
The sessions build on each other, and we encourage you to attend as many sessions as possible, but we understand that the summer is a busy time. The training will be bi-lingual in Spanish and English.
Some of the sessions will be on Zoom, and some will be in person. When you register using the form below, you will receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link, which will work for all of the online sessions. We will keep you updated on the location of the in-person sessions.
