GUEST SPEAKERS NEEDED Can you help?

Save to Favorites

The Boys and Girls Club of Tustin is currently seeking individuals to come speak to our teen center about the seriousness of racism.

This will be an opportunity for at least three individuals to come conduct a 1-hour panel and have an open discussion about racism. We expect the guest panelists to give a better understanding about the definitions of racism. Panelists can also discuss real facts and incidents of people who have dealt with or engaged in racist attitudes. This can include the possible consequences of using inappropriate behavior in school, the community and for future employment.

The overall topics the panelists should discuss are racism definitions and the ramifications of engaging in racist behaviors.

NOTE: In the event that only 1 guest speaker is interested, we will instead conduct a full discussion with the class only using one guest speaker instead of a 3 panel discussion.
