Communities United Against Hate (CUAH) events

Mentor a YCC Fellow on Oct. 18

When: October 18 at 3 - 5 pm

CUAH’s Youth Creating Change program has selected its 2020 -21 class of YCC Fellows. We are calling on community and business leaders to mentor this class of 70 inspiring Fellows from schools all over the county during a virtual training session on Sunday, October 18^th at 3 – 5 pm. This is the second session of our monthly YCC training series, and will focus on the problem and solution interviews, a process for refining solutions to problems, and understanding your role in activism. As a mentor, you would listen to the classroom training and then serve as a sounding board to a small group of fellows during breakout sessions, when the fellows will apply the elements of this training to their projects.  

YCC will hold trainings monthly until April. Check out the training dates and topics below and register for the  sessions that work for you!
