Youth Leadership Academy Track

WE in the World, a diverse team of change agents who are passionate about igniting transformation for well-being and equity in the world, will be hosting a youth leadership academy track. 

Youth Leadership Academy: Leading from Within
This involves one’s inner journey as a leader, including the story of a personal journey in light of the current health pandemic, the new wave of police brutality, and issues of racism and systemic inequity.

Youth Leadership Academy: Leading Together Part I & II
This two-part session will focus on building relationships and building brave spaces for transformation. These skills are grounded in the perception of the community as a dynamic network of interacting people, organizations, structures, and systems that are related to a place.

Youth Leadership Academy: Leading for Equitable Outcomes I & II
This two-part session will focus on how to lead for sustainable and equitable outcomes. These skills will support youth in applying design skills to co-create a theory of change that supports all, including those that are not thriving, in an organized and achievable way.

Racial Equity Track

The Well Being In the Nation (WIN) Network, a growing strategic network of organizations and communities coming together to advance intergenerational well-being and equity, will be hosting a four part series on racial equity.

Applying the WIN Framework for Action to Take Action on Racial Justice: Leading from Within
Our collective awareness about racial injustice and systemic racism may have been sharpened in the context of COVID-19 and the new wave of police brutality, but issues of racism and systemic inequity have been prevalent in communities for hundreds of years. Taking an explicit racial justice approach requires going on a journey. This first session in a four-part series will invite attendees to go on a racial equity journey using the WIN Framework for Change. This begins by Leading from Within – examining our own stories, our own history and our community’s history and legacy of colonialism and racism. This session will invite those who are ready to explore where they are and deepen into conversation to develop some skills in exploring their own journey in addressing racial justice.

Applying the WIN Framework for Action to Take Action on Racial Justice: Leading Together
This session, the second of a racial equity journey series, will invite attendees to go on a racial equity journey using the WIN Framework for Change. This session focuses on Leading Together – developing relationships and creating the context for brave spaces, developing common language and analogies, and exploring your common history as a community together. This session will invite those who are ready to lead together to build skills to hold dialogue around race, racism and equity. You do not need to have attended previous sessions to attend this one.

Applying the WIN Framework for Action to Take Action on Racial Justice: Leading for Equitable Outcomes
