InterACT
InterAct: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Solutions
OUR MISSION
The YWCA Great Lakes Bay Region is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
OUR VISION
The YWCA Great Lakes Bay Region’s goal is to help you, your employees, fellow club or organization members, or coworkers acknowledge and break down biases that inhibit cooperation and connection. Interact is a program designed to confront unconscious beliefs and behaviors. Through reflection you can strengthen inclusivity across your organization - or network - and pave the way toward better business outcomes and a more inclusive Region!
OUR METHOD
We use the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) as our tool to guide our conversation and discovery. Our Executive Director, Moira Branigan is a certified IDI Qualified Administrator and has a Diversity and Inclusion Certification from Cornell University. As our staff facilitator for the InterAct program, she will leave your team with a plan for growth.
If you are a nonprofit interested in taking part in this program thanks to the generosity of Hemlock Semiconductor and BACF, or if you are interested in a quote for fee-for-service training please complete the request form below.
InterAct: Next Steps
Interested in connecting with others who have also completed the first step of InterACT? Introducing InterACT: Next Steps!
We’re inviting everyone who has completed the IDI, received their individual results, and IDPs from the YWCA GLBR to join an informal peer learning group. During our meetings we’ll revisit the IDI concepts, and discuss resources for the next steps in your journeys.
If you’ve started your IDP, ran out of steam, or got distracted by life - here’s your chance to restart your InterACT journey with a supportive community.
Who is Leading the Discussion!? IDI Qualified Administrator Moira Branigan will hold these discussions on Zoom. Click on the images to register!
