PEAT (Prejudice Elimination Action Team) would like to invite you all to attend/promote our annual ADL Peer Training (a requirement for our No Place for Hate programming) scheduled for November 8-9 and make a personal invite to our monthly EDI meetings:
  • EDI (Embracing Diversity Initiative) is a adult-youth partnership, that looks at cross-generational gatherings to increase understanding of all levels of diversity. It is completely open to anyone who wants to join and get involved in the work that PEAT is trained to do and present throughout the community. We invite your participation in training, preparing and presenting for our annual Diversity Dialogues in the spring. EDI meets every 3rd Tuesday/month from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in W2105 at DHS.
  • THIS WED. and THUR-->The ADL Peer Training Program is creating positive change in schools. Built on the knowledge that the most important influences on young people are the attitudes and behaviors of their peers, the Peer Training Program prepares young people to use the positive power of peer influence to promote respect and civility in their schools and beyond. From its birth during the Crown Heights riots, the Peer Training Program has grown into an international program linking students across the U.S. to 15 countries abroad. This program teaches Peer Trainers to take action against prejudice by leading workshops and discussions with peers about the issues that impact their school. Their efforts play a key role in creating environments where differences are valued and respected.  Please share/register at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf_ACHimhIsGPBsoIq_s5w0itzJ_YUgBWZ7jzlzw3et0u_5GQ/viewform?usp=sf_link#start=invite
