“BUILD WITH, NOT FOR” WORKSHOPS

Make sure that community is the center of your community engagement work! Drawing on best practices from multiple disciplines, we delve into the art and science of crafting short and long-term engagements rooted in community consent, power, and accountability. Are you ready to transform how you and your team show up?

I feel like having gone through Laurenellen’s class I’m forever different. I’ve taken other professional trainings, and I learned some core, and important, technical skills, but I feel like with this training, you just change as a person.

Whether you’re a brand new group or an existing team seeking a tune-up, this action-oriented, introspective retreat is for you.

We encountered in Laurenellen a model of kindness that does not forfeit accountability, which proved motivating and important to the sustainability of our ongoing work toward equity and inclusion.

The Coronavirus forced us to switch our planned time together from live to online, and Laurenellen adapted seamlessly. Their workshop on power-aware facilitation was chock full of great ideas for having thoughtful conversations across differences in any context. My students and I will put what we learned to use right away—and for a long time to come.
