Led by Whitney Parnell, CEO and Founder of Service Never Sleeps, these sessions will provide helpful definitions, invitations to self-mirroring, and active ally education involving the CLAIM acronym: Care, Learn, Act, Influence, and Maintain. The workshops teach individuals about the causes of social injustice, how to be effective allies for marginalized communities, and how to actively influence and educate others. Our IN-PERSON time together will involve breakouts for practice together in pairs and small groups intermittently throughout our time of learning, so come ready to “try on” the Ally Training strategies of Service Never Sleeps.
