Engaging and Effective Intercultural Awareness Training

Youth work is social justice work. Equity is a moral imperative and it is critical that youth workers have ongoing intercultural awareness training. Understanding the significance of diversity, equity, and inclusion matters in your work. How well you interact with all young people is an essential component in building relationships that foster genuine belonging.

At YIPA, DEI is a priority of our organization and we believe it is an essential focus area for every youth worker’s personal and professional development. Our intercultural training supports working with young people from all ethnic groups and backgrounds, as well as supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and people with disabilities. Our live online and on-demand intercultural training programs help you learn effective ways to authentically engage with young people and the community, respecting cultural difference.
