Bringing an Antiracist Lens to Volunteering Workshop @ Overcoming Racism Conference (Virtual)

Many good-intentioned volunteers support disenfranchised communities of color without understanding the harmful effects of the white savior complex. In this session, listen and learn to adopt an antiracist framework and an inclusive practice with the community in your volunteer program and service.

Adopted by the Minnesota Alliance for Volunteer Advancement's "8 Strategies for Creating a More Inclusive Volunteer Program", participants attending this session will learn the concept of the white savior complex and the repercussions of adopting it within their volunteer service and programs. We will teach participants ways to adopt inclusive practices that welcome community advocacy and leadership to dismantle systemic and racial oppression from ineffective volunteer systems. We will advance their leadership skills by sharing practices to influence organizational change. And they will walk away with practical strategies that will allow community members to partner alongside them in the journey to be antiracists.
