ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR #ADVISORYBOARD or BOARD of DIRECTORS MEMBERS Looking for Diverse peoples interested in joining a new agency to create a model program that is anti-racist, evidence-based, community-based, culturally competent, and trauma-informed. Choose love. Celebrate life. A Foundation for Youth and Families, Inc. is looking for Advisory Board members. CLCL Foundation's mission is to provide sheltering services to runaways and #homeless youth, crisis management and #prevention services to families like respite and family empowerment, plus community accessible psychsocial prevention groups for youth. We wish to create a #DEI-minded antiracist and inclusive program [Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion]. Currently, the Board consists of 6 white women. That is not acceptable long-term. It is imperative this new nonprofit prevents racism, and although we have ideas on how to do this, it is not our lived experiences. It would be a disservice to create this new program without input from diverse peoples, those with varied lived experiences, and community stakeholders. Only together can we have enough wisdom to implement effective intervention and treatment strategies that help #Youth and their families. Do you have an expertise in this area? Do you have applicable experience or education? Do you want help design a program from the ground up? OR Do you live in the area? Looking to get involved in your community? If so, please contact me to learn more!

Approximately 80% of women experiencing homelessness in the US are women of color. In addition, 68% of Black women serve as sole providers for their families, facing heightened vulnerability to housing instability amidst pandemic-induced financial challenges and wealth disparities. During every month, not just Black History Month, it's important to acknowledge these inequities and continue to actively support families experiencing housing insecurity.

CLCL Foundation's mission is to provide sheltering services to runaways and #homeless youth, crisis management and #prevention services to families like respite and family empowerment, plus community accessible psychsocial prevention groups for youth. We are also accepting applications from local Ocean or Monmouth County residents to join the Board of Directors or a Committee. Currently, the Board consists of 6 white women. That is not acceptable long-term. We wish to create a #DEI-minded antiracist and inclusive program [Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion]. Especially because the agency we came from (5 of us with 57 years combined experience) acted in racially-motivated, biased and discriminatory ways. It is imperative this new nonprofit prevents racism, and although we have ideas on how to do this, it is not our lived experiences. It would be a disservice to create this new program without input from diverse peoples and those with varied lived experiences.

Child Advocates is not afraid to have the critical conversations about racism. Our CEO and our Chief of Community, Equity, and Inclusion share their insight on the Community Connection show on Radio One's AM 1310 'The Light": 🔷"We've gone backwards. After the George Floyd murder, people were heard and seen more loudly and more open to having the conversations about racism. But I think there has been a shift. It seems it's not even okay to talk about race equity work anymore. We're losing roles in DEI. It seems like we are going in a different direction." - Phyllis Armstrong/ Child Advocates CEO 🔷"The intention of racism is to keep all of us divided so that we can't come together collectively to create healthier communities...Some people are not understanding that the impact of racism is on everyone, just in much different ways." - Jill English/Chief of Community, Equity, and Inclusion Child Advocates leaders also discuss who pays the price due to racism: our children. Children are the reason we launched a race equity program nearly 15 years ago for anyone in the community. We want to build a better future for every child. Today, our "Interrupting Racism for Children" workshops have reached thousands of people as we grow and learn together. Hear this important conversation on interrupting racism at 46 minutes into the show: https://ow.ly/zpNh50S8C6u #racialequity #inclusion #diversity #DEI #children #childadvocacy #justice #equity #wellbeing #childwelfare #nonprofit

Social Current has been at the forefront of advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) for years.

Our EDI experts recently authored an article in Nonprofit Business Advisor, where they outline three truths that have emerged in our work to support organizations. Check out their article to learn why we can't afford to turn our backs on EDI. https://ow.ly/mvpf50RPjey #equity #diversity #inclusion #DEI
