The National Afterschool Association (NAA) is seeking applicants for their Professional Learning Community for Emerging Leaders of Color. The program seeks to foster a network of equity-driven leaders of color, support them in deepening their equity analysis and leadership skills to be agents of change in the afterschool field and help them create a roadmap that advances their careers in the afterschool field.
Between March 2020 and July 2020, participants of this program will meet six times, (4 virtual sessions, 2 in-person sessions). Through interactive, engaging and thoughtfully facilitated sessions that will foster community and elicit dialogue and self-reflection, participants will:
- Network and build community with other leaders of color across the country;
- Explore how power, privilege and oppression impact leaders of color as they navigate systems and in their efforts to best serve young people;
- Engage in personal reflection and examine the intersection between their personal development and their leadership practices; and
- Deepen their equity analysis and gain strategies to influence and inform policy and practices within their organizations.
