Leading with Cultural Humility: Tools for Building Trust and Connection

This workshop facilitated by Jessica Lynn Taylor, CEO of Leadership Training Initiative, is intended to help prepare participants to feel more comfortable interacting with a variety of people from different backgrounds and ages. All are welcome. The workshop will focus on skills for cultural humility, trauma-informed engagement, and practical presentation strategies to honor a diversity of lived experiences as well as create psychological safety.

The Architecture Foundation of Oregon (AFO) centers education and access for youth at the heart of our programming. We are excited to offer opportunities for design professionals, educators, youth organizers, and more to receive training on trauma-informed practices and social/emotional learning.

AFO believes that all adults working with youth have a responsibility to not create harm, to give youth space to express their true selves, to look to them as experts, and to center them in our teaching and learning. AFO understands that these are skills that require ongoing learning and will help us be more empathetic and effective teachers, mentors and leaders.

PLEASE NOTE: All current AFO volunteers, board members, committee members, and 2025-26 Architects in Schools and Formation Mentorship participants have free access to this workshop. Please contact candice@af-oregon.org if you are a current volunteer and have not received the Zoom link.
