Other Voices is designed to be a leadership development and community-building experience in which participants – in frank and open dialogue - build their insight and understanding of the roots of prejudice; help participants determine how “oppressive-isms” affect their quality of life; share cross-cultural environments; evaluate personal biases that play out in behaviors; develop a vision for dealing with problems; and develop strategies for alleviating these problems individually, at the workplace, and in the community. The program year covers a nine-month period, with an average of 20–25 people enrolled.
