As a result of ReachOut services, organizations tell us they have undertaken:

Organizational Diversification

• “Recruited more diverse board members”
• “Prolonged a hiring process recently to ensure that we had a diverse pool of candidates”
• “Created a job application posting strategy that reached a more diverse audience”

Institutionalization of Cultural Competency

• “Implemented cultural competency into our Strategic Plan for the agency, by setting a goal coming up with an assessment tool to use on a yearly basis”
• “Launched a cultural competency committee”
• “Redid two sessions on oppression for a twice-yearly Volunteer Training (with the direct help of ReachOut)”
• “Wove cultural competency into each volunteer session, no matter what the topic”
• “Develop strategies to continue our work on culturally competent teaching as a component to all of our future professional development”

Support for Personal Development

• “Started an every-other-month offsite discussion (2-3 hours) to do some personal work around confronting prejudice and oppression and to share resources”
• “Established a regular ‘Expanding Our Worldview’ e-newsletter to share events, books, movies, etc. among staff”

Ongoing Professional Development Training
