Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, the San Diego Creative Youth Development Network will strengthen its organizational capacity by ensuring its administrators, governing body, youth leaders, mentors, artists, and cultural practitioners are equitably compensated and representative of the communities served; its professional development opportunities are inclusive and accessible to individuals of all abilities, and across culturally specific and geographically diverse communities, and its policies/practices/procedures are anti-racist and focused on cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity. We will operationalize equity in our decision-making across all our activities to reach our equity goals with open- mindedness, responsiveness, and adaptability to uplift systemically under-resourced, excluded, and erased artists, communities, and cultural practices. We will collect data to measure the impact the Network has across our community.
