Using Power to Build Community

This session will discuss the dynamics of power and helping in the community. There are many different types of power. Do you know what type of power you have and what type you don’t? What does power have to do with helping others? Using cultural frameworks, this session will help participants understand how power and helping go hand in hand.

Upon completion of this session, participants will:
