k-12 programs
For more than 25 years, Community Tampa Bay has partnered with local schools to provide youth leadership and diversity education services for students. Several years ago, that partnership evolved to include cultural humility training for district staff, teachers and administrators as well.
Strengthen Your School
Community Tampa Bay’s expert facilitators offer in-school trainings and workshops for both middle and high students and faculty to help build an anti-discrimination environment. Through adaptable trainings and interactive workshops, we can cover topics from community building, inclusion and belonging, how to lead with empathy and curiosity, finding common ground, ways to interrupt biases and prejudice, engage in meaningful dialogue across differences, and so much more. These trainings and workshops are designed to give students the inspiration and the tools they need to create more inclusive spaces for all and can be updated to address the specific needs, incidents, and/or culture of your school and community. We also offer follow-up sessions with students and faculty to process lessons learned, and ensure the sustainability of the dialogue started by the training session.

School Administrator and Teacher Education
Community Tampa Bay offers teachers, district and school administrators cultural humility training aimed at increasing inclusion in classrooms and the larger school community. Training has included a cohort model where school administrators and teachers received three full days of training.
Past surveys include these results:
- 93% of participants reported that the cohort trainings helped them gain an understanding of the impact of exclusion in their schools.
- 95% of participants reported that the cohort trainings helped them assess how aspects of their identity impact their interactions with others.
- 90% of participants reported that the cohort trainings helped them identify techniques to reduce prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination in their schools.
