CREATING INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES for Nebraska’s Community Well-Being and Connected Youth Initiative
Creating Inclusive Communities is designed to examine and break down the stereotypes, myths, and barriers among diverse identities – a critical first step in the blueprint for building an inclusive community-based prevention culture that reflects mutual trust, acceptance, and respect of all members of the community. This is achieved through trusted and authentic youth-adult partnership. This plan contains a pipeline of workshops and programs for both community partners and young leaders which purposefully build on each other to create a sustainable, inclusive movement in communities.
Workshop participants will develop a deeper understanding of racial, ethnic, religious, and other cultural diversity while building relational and conflict management skills necessary for driving interpersonal and institutional changes in their own communities.
