Allies, Advocates and Accomplices Workshop

Duration: 1 hour

Description: This training will allow students to develop an understanding of their roles as bystanders, as it relates to people of color. Although someone may not identify with a particular culture or racial/ethnic identity, this does not mean you cannot demonstrate support in some way. We are all in different places as it relates to the way we show support. This training will help students identify where they are in their journey and tangible ways to demonstrate support as an Ally, Advocate or Accomplice.
