Racial Equity Starts at Home: Talking about Race with Kids

How do we talk about race and equity with our kids? What role can parents play to confront discrimination and inequality? How do we teach kids to see color? And how do we do any of this as overworked and overwhelmed parents?

Join us for this self-guided online workshop designed with busy parents and caregivers in mind. We’ll explore how to have meaningful conversations about racial equity with your kids. We’ll share strategies for teaching antiracism and how we can take action in our families. We’ll also discuss how we can work together to build equitable homes, schools, and communities.

This is a five-week online workshop series that includes:

Online lessons. Watch or listen to our videos whenever it fits into your schedule. 

Coursework. Go deeper with resources, tools, and exercises to try at home.

Online Dialogue. Connect with other parents, find support, ask questions, and reflect in this online discussion session.

How It Works

Once registration closes, you’ll receive a password-protected link to access online videos and download coursework materials. You’ll receive an email with a private Zoom link before the online discussion. We suggest participants set aside at least 4 - 6 hours over the duration of the workshop to complete the online videos, coursework, and Zoom.
