DESCRIPTION:Youth In Crisis: What Can We Do?\nThe pandemic and calls for social justice are causing great distress for many of our youth. Along with confronting the usual challenges of childhood and adolescence\, they’re experiencing uncertainty regarding their education and isolation from their friends and community. The widespread and highly publicized protests for racial justice have compelled many of them to get involved. As recently reported on the front page of San Jose Mercury News (July 7\, 2020)\, our youth are increasingly experiencing higher levels of “anxiety and depression”. \nThe crisis may have a devastating impact on youth feeling alone and voiceless. What will be the effects on youth who have traditionally been most at risk? Can we re-imagine and redirect community resources in a way that will be more responsive to this crisis? Are there creative approaches to healing the stress that our children are experiencing? \nJoin us in dialogue with students\, service providers\, and educational advocates to explore how our community can support the emotional well-being of our youth. \n             \nFeaturing: \nLeon Beauchman (XX)\, Counselor\, East Side Union High School District; President\, Santa Clara County Alliance of Black Educators; and Former Board Member Santa Clara County Office of Education \nYouth Leaders from Californians for Justice\, led by Taryn Ishida (XXVIII) will share their experiences with distance learning and their recommendations for educators\, policy-makers\, and community leaders to support education equity and students’ social-emotional well-being. \nCatherine Aspiras\, Program Manager\, School Linked Services\, Santa Clara County \n  URL:https://www.alfsv.org/event/youth-in-crisis-what-can-we-do/ LOCATION:CA\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200916T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200916T160000 DTSTAMP:20200805T214523Z CREATED:20200805T214523Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200805T214523Z UID:5603-1600264800-1600272000@www.alfsv.org SUMMARY:Faith Leaders Affinity Group DESCRIPTION:Faith Leaders Affinity Group\n  \nA group of Senior Fellows – both faith leaders and lay people – meeting monthly.

In just the last four years\, we’ve overhauled our Fellows program reading\, continued to build on Class and organizational diversity at all levels\, and gone on deep journeys with now three CEO Diversity\, Inclusion\, Equity and Liberation cohorts. We are getting smarter together so that we may lead better. \nALF’s work around racial equity continues to evolve. Thanks to a generous Leadership Circle gift from Silver Lake\, ALF will be expanding our work of facilitating groups and evolving curriculum and networks to move the needle on racial equity. \nAs an inclusive organization looking to access the wisdom of the network\, We want to hear from you. \nWhile some of you have shared how ALF can help in this arena\, we want to invite additional input from the Senior Fellows network as we create an action plan for the next twelve months. We want to know how ALF might be able to assist in your learning journey and/or your work as it relates to racial justice\, inclusion\, and equity. \n***Zoom meeting link will be shared just prior to the event*** URL:https://www.alfsv.org/event/alf-focus-group-deepening-the-work-around-race-equity/ LOCATION:CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Race & Equity,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
