From Charity to Justice

The Workshops

This series is designed to support your team’s individual and holistic justice-centered community engagement efforts—from an executive board recruitment chair who would benefit from Identifying Values + Branding, to a first-time student program leader who would love to learn more about the 9 Components + Community Impact, to a whole team of site leaders who could learn skills and strategies for Reflection + Facilitation or the entire leadership staff who wants to improve post-engagement opportunities with Reorientation + Coalition Building. A mix of both content and practical application, each workshop serves as a stepping stone to a more community-centered approach to service.

• Identifying Values + Branding (Wednesday 9.20)

• Participants will identify their program’s values and mission and brainstorm how to use them in recruitment and retention strategies. 

• Utilizing the Community Collaborator Continuum and ethical storytelling principles, participants will understand how craft social media posts, emails, and other written materials to communicate the why of their programs.

• 9 Components + Community Impact (Thursday 9.28)

• Using Break Away’s service engagement model, the 9 Components of Quality Community Engagement, participants learn to apply the components to their lives, campuses, and communities to understand the how of their programs.

• Pre-engagement education, orientation, and training serve to set your service up for positive community impact and learn how to implement these components into your program.

• Facilitation + Reflection (Wednesday 10.4)

• Using Break Away’s styles and goals of facilitation, participants will identify their strengths and challenges when facilitating and leading in their programs.

• Reflection is one of the hardest parts of community engagement, so participants will be introduced to concepts to build an impactful reflection practice and understand how reflection connects to learning. 

• Reorientation + Coalition Building (Thursday 10.12)

  • Coalitions are formed by different stakeholders coming together to address an agreed upon issue. Turn ideas into future actions that aid in the creation and coordination of sustainable coalitions.

  • Participants will understand and define the importance of reorientation (as connected with community collaboration) and create action steps to create reorientation opportunities in their communities.

How pricing Works

Schools are able to purchase semester passes (four tickets), mini passes (two tickets), or a single pass (one ticket). Each ticket equals one workshop registration for one student to use.

For example: if you buy a Semester Pass, you get four tickets that can be used a number of ways. Four attendees can come to one workshop OR two attendees can come to two workshops OR any one attendee can come to each of the four workshops (and so on). Same goes for a Mini Pass—how you divide up the two tickets in the Mini Pass is up to you. Either way, the more tickets you buy, the more you save! 

To join, you’ll first pay for your passes. Then, have your attendees register for the workshop(s) of their choice. Finally, the attendee will receive resources (including a Zoom link) to the workshop they registered for the Tuesday before the workshop.
