Are you beginning your equity journey and want to deepen your anti-racist work? Are you an ally looking to put some actions behind your words or refresh your skills? Are you looking for a space to take risks and challenge your previously held beliefs in a supportive community?

About the Allyship Training
Service Never Sleeps' virtual Allyship training is an intensive, two-day, fast-paced webinar series designed to explore how to use individual and collective areas of privilege to advance racial justice in an intersectional context. Using SNS’ CLAIM framework (Care, Learn, Act, Influence, Maintain), this workshop will explore what it means to adopt an Allyship lifestyle. The training will equip participants with tools to be active allies for racial justice through methods of naming privilege, centering individuals of BIPOC and Native descent, navigating intersectionality across identities, influencing others, and continuing their own self-work journey. Participants will leave this workshop committed to the Allyship lifestyle, and prepared to facilitate change in all areas of life.
