Social Justice Stewardship: Relational Skills for Sustainable Change
Event description
Who is this for?
This two-day in-person training is designed for folks actively working on social justice across various sectors (education, law, healthcare, food access, climate justice, etc...) who are passionate about supporting the relationships and communities that make this work possible.
Why this training?
Social change is not easy. It takes time, commitment, and vision.
But most importantly, social change requires community and partnership.
None of us can implement a vision for social change on our own. Relationships within and between communities are the very foundation of long-term efforts.
The larger the vision, the stronger the communities and relationships need to be.
Because relationships are so crucial to the success of the work, the work risks falling apart when they are not supported. That’s why an essential task in any social justice effort is stewardship.
What Does It Mean to Be a Steward of Social Justice?
Stewards track and support not only the relationships between various individuals and communities. Stewards also track and support the larger community that those relationships exist within.
Not everyone needs to be a steward. And even those who excel at it don’t need to do it all the time. But any social justice effort that lasts will ultimately come to rely on the quality of stewardship its members are able to offer.
Stewards tend to relationships and community so that trauma and conflict will have less room to sow disconnection - the root of social injustice.
When trauma and conflict do arise, as they naturally will, stewards work together to hold space toward healing, insight, and deeper connection. In doing so, they play a key role in actualizing social justice values.
In short, social justice work relies on its stewards.
If you are called to this kind of stewardship, and you’d like to deepen your skillset around it, this training might be a good fit for you
