Asian American Resource Workshop

 Building organizational resilience takes time and intention, and our journey will not be linear. In the first 3–6 months of the grant cycle, we will focus on strengthening staff skills and resilience through our retreat and monthly Alignment Days. By summer 2025, we aim to use these skills to create processing, healing, and resistance spaces for AARW members, including a general membership space and a dedicated space for our Women’s Circle of working-class Vietnamese women. Members will help shape these spaces by guiding the healing modalities most needed. We also hope to partner with a trainer from The Organizing Center to facilitate social-emotional development at our retreat and provide ongoing coaching.
