Transforming Nonprofits by Centering Indigenous Justice with Mélanie Valcin and Kristen Miller

 

 

Transforming Nonprofits by Centering Indigenous Justice with Mélanie Valcin and Kristen MilleNon-Indigenous instructional methods and approaches have contributed to the colonization of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and communities. What steps can organizations take to decolonize frameworks and center justice for Indigenous people in the nonprofit sector? In this episode of Let’s Imagine, we’re joined by Mélanie Valcin, President and CEO, and Kristen Miller, member of the board of directors of United for Literacy - a national charity focused on improving the lives of children, youth and adults through literacy. Together we dive into the organization’s mission and its historic relationship with Indigenous communities, as well as their approach to truth and reconciliation.

Corporate Giving in a Time of Rapid Change: What We Heard in Edmonton

As part of the PRISM Network Learning Series, we gathered in person for a reception and panel discussion: Steady in the Storm: Corporate Giving in a Time of Rapid Change. The conversation was equal parts sobering and energizing: a look at the pressures squeezing community investment in Alberta and across the globe, and an honest chat on whether the way we've always done this still works.
