Although many ENGOs are making intentional efforts to hire more racialized and Indigenous staff, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) are currently in the minority in our sector.
With BIPOC staff experiencing numerous workplace challenges which contribute to high turnover rates, we have heard a strong need from the sector for more BIPOC support. BIPOC staff want a brave space where they can share challenges freely. Recognizing the challenges, White/European leaders also want a brave space to give their BIPOC staff the opportunity to gather with their racialized and Indigenous peers for support.
To address these needs, we have created the BIPOC Ears Only space: a free, virtual, monthly space, only open to BIPOC in the ENGO sector.
Monthly meetings will be held via Zoom on September 23, October 28 and November 25 from 1 PM to 2:30 PM (ET). Sessions are free but pre-registration is required.
