Reimagine power and leadership, centre equity, challenge bias, and apply AI for real accountability.

Join Jeff Couillard, Nitu Sultana and Christian Ortiz for a half-day experiential workshop designed for nonprofit leaders ready to move beyond surface-level equity work into real structural change.

This virtual session brings together three powerful approaches:

Nitu will introduce Volunteer Calgary's new Equity Volunteer Engagement Framework, a practical approach to redesigning volunteer engagement to be more inclusive and impactful.

With Jeff you will explore the Right Use of Power framework, helping you examine how power shows up in your leadership, relationships, and decision-making. You’ll explore how harm is often reproduced through everyday practices that feel normal but exclude communities by design.

Christian will lead a live demo and hands-on training with Justice AI, built on the Decolonial Intelligence Algorithmic (DIA) Framework. You’ll see how bias is embedded in technology and learn how to actively interrupt it using AI as a tool for accountability, not harm.

In collaboration with Volunteer Calgary’s Equity Commons initiative, this workshop centers accessibility and challenges how nonprofit systems engage, include, or accidentally exclude different communities.

This workshop will be online via Zoom.
