CARE's Juneteenth Promotion: FREE REDI Certification

  • 1.  CARE's Juneteenth Promotion: FREE REDI Certification

    Posted 06-09-2023 01:41 PM

    CARE is offering their REDI (Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) virtual course free of charge in June. This $800 scholarship honors the federal holiday Juneteenth that celebrates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. These scholarships are made possible thanks to the generous funding of national animal welfare foundation Maddie's Fund. The promotion will end on June 19th, so make sure you register before!

     

    The REDI course shows us what true equity looks like -- both inside our foundation, and our society," says Mary Smith, Executive Leadership Team, Maddie's Fund. "Our entire Maddie's Fund team has taken the course and it has allowed us to engage in some uncomfortable yet inspirational conversations. We encourage everyone to take the course to help make our community a more inclusive place for all."

    CARE's REDI course is an introductory guide to understanding Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The coursework consists of videos and graphics that are shareable and activities that are meant to get you thinking about the current climate, as well as view what else is going on around the country. 

    "REDI is important because it yields positive and increased shelter animal placement results, while also allowing learners to both understand and correct their own implicit biases." Dr. Alina Luna, Dean of the Circle of Learning and Leadership

    Thank you for this important resource. We strive for inclusivity but recognize how powerful bias can be and the need for tools like this as a way to learn and grow is huge.
