Tired of Politics?

Try the Road Less Traveled...

Election years always seem to highlight the divisions in our country, as politicians slice us up into special interest groups (who will get the Norwegian bachelor farmer vote?) and distance themselves from the opposition (Senator X is bad for the Powdermilk Biscuit business!)  Do you ever wish you could do something to unite us?

The Diversity Council is looking for people of all ages, sizes, races, religions, and occupations to join our team of facilitators. As a Diversity Council facilitator, you will help K-12 students learn to walk in other people’s shoes and treat them with respect—regardless of their differences.

The hours are flexible, the pay is good, the training can be life-changing, and the work is rewarding.

All facilitators receive 35 hours of training before we send them into the classroom, with in depth discussions on topics like race and gender, tips on classroom management, journaling on a class blog, and practice sessions with our curriculum. The next training course will be held from 1 – 5 p.m. on August 21, 22, 26 & 28 and September 2, 4, 9 & 11.

This intense learning experience with a small group of like-minded people is often a profound experience for participants. One of last year’s facilitators wrote: “The class was very beneficial for me personally.  It has given me a different outlook in life.  It was very enriching and helps in broadening my view in respect of human beings and hope it makes me become a better person.” Another added, “It was truly a marvelous experience.”

Training hours will be compensated at minimum wage. Facilitation in schools is paid at the rate of $20/hour. Hours are completely flexible. We post workshops online as they are scheduled, and facilitators sign up to work whenever they are available.

Interested in joining our team? Contact Education Director James Robertson at 282-9951 or jamesr@diversitycouncil.org.
