Good conversations and questions - the ones that stir your soul or conscience and move you to immediate action or perhaps that stay with you for weeks, months, and years on end - can be hard to come by. To give myself a better shot at coming across them, I try to engage in as many opportunities that appear they would provoke them as possible. That's why I've served as a Racial Justice Facilitator for the YWCA of Minneapolis "It's Time To Talk: Forums on Race" in years past. Considering the opportunity to dig deep, stretch yourself, and talk about the stuff that matters? See more below about how you can not only participate in these discussions, but help to bring them about!

We are recruiting returning and new facilitators for ITT 2011. You or someone you know can become a trained circle facilitator. Take the first step by completing a volunteer form.
