It is part of the Equity Conversation Guides For Young Leaders and Partners series developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative. This four-part series aims to help leaders engage young people in conversations about dismantling racism in child-serving systems and ultimately partner with these youth to advance equity and inclusion solutions.
During this session, facilitators ask participants to establish group agreements. These simple ground rules — generated collaboratively — help define how participants need to treat each other during their time together. Group agreements help create a community of accountability and trust that enables participants to connect, open up and navigate important issues related to youth organizing and racial and ethnic equity, inclusion and justice.
