TAKING CARE is a culturally-centered professional development opportunity for black philanthropic staff to reflect on and reconnect with the values that brought us to philanthropic work, giving us energy to better sustain the quality and depth of our commitment on the job.
TAKING CARE targets mid-level program and philanthropic services staff, such as program officers and donor relations managers. However, staff from different sectors of philanthropy and experience levels are also welcome! The retreat is limited to people affiliated with funding institutions.
TAKING CARE offers an opportunity to regroup, reflect, and revive, preparing us to work on the challenges that face our communities and world with renewed enthusiasm, including:
- empowerment exercises that build confidence and strengthen leadership capacity;
- structured activities designed to identify and validate positive personal and professional values;
- opportunities to connect with and support other black professionals in philanthropy from across the nation;
- access to on-site health and recreational services (spa, yoga, kayaking, hiking); and
- valuable time to unwind and reflect.
