CURIOUS CONVERSATIONS

Monthly space to create open, curious, and encouraging conversations around equity in community engagement and to be in community with other like-minded people. 

Curious Conversations take place the first Wednesday of each month and are casual one-hour learning sessions where VACV reflects on common questions we receive about community engagement. By offering this space for continual learning, we hope to build a network of like-minded individuals who want to practice equitable engagement with communities. Multiple VACV staff members provide their experiences, ensuring participants will hear diverse perspectives and solutions to common engagement challenges. We also appreciate when participants share their experiences and expertise. This space is truly for sharing and building community. 

TIME COMMITMENT - 1 hour (12pm-1pm)

COST - Free. Registration is encouraged but not required. If you register you’ll get the reminder emails!
