Anti-Racism Community of Practice

This group began as an intensive cohort in spring 2021. We participated in a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) certification course through the University of South Florida. After that course ended, we shifted to an affinity group that meets every other month. The group's goal is to support each other in making home repair programs more anti-racist. We discuss DEI with regards to clients, volunteers, staff, and board. The discussion isn't limited only to matters related to race, but also gender, sexual orientation, varying abilites, etc. Executive Director Becca Davis begins each roundtable conversation with some prompts that are emailed in advance, and everyone is encouraged to bring questions and ideas and resources to share.
