Impact Hub Baltimore,10 E North Ave. Baltimore, MD 21202

Too often we have conversations around or about Privilege without having a mutual understanding of what it is and now it operates in our environment. Because of this lack of knowledge we often unknowingly perpetuate harm. The Unpacking Privilege, Unlocking Power interactive workshop goes beyond the rhetoric and provides participants with useful tools for real-life application.

This workshop will prepare participants by highlighting the ways in which we all enjoy privilege based on being members of social and personal identity groups. The goal of the workshop is to identify specific ways we can use our privilege to create a more just and caring world where each person is treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.

During This Interactive Workshop You Will:

• Get clear definitions on identity terms and find out their correct use
• Leave more aware of individual privilege
• Have insight on how you can leverage your privilege to increase access and opportunity for others.
• Get insight into how to create more inclusive programming
• Understand the implications of socially constructed labels.

This Workshop is Perfect for You, If:

• You work with/ in diverse populations
• You work for an organization that provides services to populations with a different race, citizenship status, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender than you or the leadership of your organization
• You care about increasing access and opportunity for others on a meaningful level.
• You work in the nonprofit sector
• You sit on the board of a nonprofit organization that serve diverse populations

How to know if this workshop isn’t for you.

I’m going to be honest and let you know that this workshop may not be for everybody. This is not a sit and listen only workshop where the speaker reads from the PowerPoint and you are able to passively learn and take notes. This workshop requires you to engage, create, and have conversations so that you will walk away with not only a deeper understanding of privilege, but also a few tools to increase access and opportunity for others.

This two-hour workshop is typically $75 per person. In an effort to increase access and reach more people, I’ve reduced the rate to just $25 per person. Please note that seating is limited.

If you are seeking to make a shift in your organization it is strongly suggested that you take this workshop with your colleagues.

We hope you can make it!
