The Strength in Structure Project, through the Canadian Council for Youth Prosperity (CCYP), invites service providers to take part in a focus group about Black youth employment outcomes.
Time
Thursday June 24th, 2021 from 1:30 to 3:30pm EST. The focus group should last no longer than one and a half to two hours.
About The Focus Group
The focus group will take place via Zoom and will touch on Black youth employment outcomes.
The focus group will provide an opportunity for you to share and also learn from other service providers and community organizations about the experiences of providing services/supports for Black youth.
It is our belief that your organization has extensive expertise and experience in workforce development as it relates to Black youth. Having a core understanding of both systemic racism and anti-Black racism is crucial to the research and implementation strategy we are proposing
