OUR GOAL
To support district effort to:
Create an ingrained support system for our educators including a protocol where employees of color can learn about the list of Belong Groups upon hiring
Work for the advancement, retention, support, and development of Women of Color across departments through professional development, training, skills courses, mentorship, and engagement activities.
Create caring communities through the strategic use of text, email, meetups, events, and programs for youth (i.e. Pathways to Teaching for HS students, Career Fairs for youth, Speaker’s Bureau)
Collaborate with organizations and facilitators that support the ongoing development and support of our initiatives and goals of our WOC group
Engage in social outings, health/wellness activities, and fun events that promote sisterhood and self-care for body and soul.
AND ULTIMATELY...
"Create opportunities to allow women of all shades and backgrounds to grow on a mental, emotional, or spiritual level...to create true foundations of support and allow us to reach spaces and allies that we hadn't considered before."
