WJCF Community Facilitation Training Set for May
The Western Justice Center Foundation and the City of Pasadena will present a Community Facilitation Training on May 3-5 and 11-12, 2007 at the Western Justice Center Foundation, 55 S. Grand Ave. The training is aimed at anyone interested in improving their facilitation skills in the areas of interethnic/interracial/intercultural dialogue and in times of community crisis. By taking part in this training, you will be joining a group of volunteer facilitators for community-wide dialogues. Renowned facilitators and trainers Diane Burbie, owner of The ASPIRE Group, and Najeeba Syeed-Miller, executive director of the Western Justice Center Foundation will lead the sessions.
The training will take place from 5-9pm on May 3, 4 and 11, and all day on May 5 and May 12. This intensive, in-depth training is valued at $650, and will be provided for free to people committing to the entire training and to 150 volunteer facilitation hours for the City of Pasadena within the next 3 years. A certificate will be awarded once this community service is complete. Participants will be chosen through an application process. We have space for 25 adult and 15 youth (14-22 years old) Pasadena residents. Please contact Emily Linnemeier at 626-584-7494 or emily@westernjustice.org for an application.
