Diversity & Social Justice Education

Join us for an insightful panel discussion featuring local practitioners from government, nonprofit organizations, and volunteer groups as they share the latest advancements, best practices, and future plans for the Champaign County Welcoming Plan. Launched in 2021 and currently in its second phase, the plan focuses on 5 key strategic initiatives to build a community of belonging: Economic Integration & Employment; Education & Language; Citizenship & Civic Engagement; Health & Well-Being. Our work has recently been nationally recognized with the City of Champaign receiving the prestigious Welcoming Certification from Welcoming America. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the progress and impact of this significant community project.
