Brief Program Description

COVID-19 has turned the world upside down, and as youth and family advocates, we will help turn it right side up. While we are practicing social distancing, it will be more crucial than ever we connect with our youth and their families whether on virtual platforms or via in-person instruction and social-emotional learning. We must be willing to be "co-conspirators," not just "allies," for our youth, many of whom are living in the pandemics of poverty, systemic racism, and low expectations overall. In this presentation, attendees will learn the distinct differences between co-conspirators and allies, and why the latter, while noble, will not inspire the change needed to ensure equity and equality are afforded to all.
