YWCA Institute Helps Fight Racism Through Education BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER
According to YWCA Lancaster training coordinator and abolitionist educator Adam Hosey, financial hardship will not be a barrier to participating in upcoming Racial Equity Institute (REI) sessions. “One of our guiding principles is that we will turn no one away for financial reasons as long as they are willing to put in the time to do the work,” Hosey explained. “This is why we have shifted from a defined cost to a suggested donation structure.” For more than 20 years, YWCA Lancaster has consistently offered REI classes, which were created for YWCA USA by Cultural Bridges to Justice in the late 1990s. Within the last few months, however, the program has been updated, reimagined, and reformatted in response to the current national dialogue and the health concerns of COVID-19. The REI program now includes 12 hours
of in-person training, with approximately two hours of online participation, during a five-day period. Training sessions have been scheduled for Monday, Sept. 21, to Friday, Sept. 25; Saturday, Oct. 17, to Saturday, Oct. 24; and Monday, Nov. 16, to Friday, Nov. 20. In-person classes will meet at the YWCA Lancaster, 110 N. Lime St., Lancaster, in socially distanced classrooms. “While the core of our workshop remains the same, we are constantly updating materials and approaches to meet the moment,” Hosey said. The training sessions are open to anyone who wants to address racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression in themselves and their community, Hosey said. Offering REI sessions is one way that YWCA Lancaster demonstrates its commitment to advocating against the oppression that many groups and individuals endure.
YWCA Lancaster is offering socially distanced Racial Equity Institute training sessions this fall.
