Free First Look: Shifting towards Solidarity Webinar and Training Series

True transformation happens when direct service becomes a space for shared power—when we serve, organize, and co-create with our community, not for it.

Metro Caring staff, volunteers, and partners are invited to join this special first look at Shifting Toward Solidarity, a new learning series rooted in our shared work and lived experience.

This is a free first look at our upcoming series.

Please register to attend.

What’s This Session About?

Across the nonprofit sector, many of us are navigating a profound shift—moving away from traditional charity models and toward participant-centered, community-led, and trauma-informed practices grounded in solidarity. This shift doesn’t lead to a neat destination; instead, it opens a journey of humility, learning, and co-creation.

At Metro Caring, this transformation has been deeply personal and collective. Together with our community, we’ve reimagined what it means to fight hunger—creating intentional pathways for participants to grow into leadership roles across our staff, board, and the broader anti-hunger movement.

This session offers a free sneak peek into our upcoming Hour of Power webinar series, Shifting Toward Solidarity, where we ask the hard but necessary questions:

• What does it really mean to be community-led?
• How does shared power show up in our day-to-day work?
• How do we design systems that reflect the wisdom already present in our community?

Why Attend In Person?

While this event is offered in a hybrid format, the in-person experience is designed for deeper dialogue and connection. Participants attending onsite will have the opportunity to engage in small-group discussion and relationship-building alongside Metro Caring staff and community leaders—creating space to reflect, ask questions, and learn together.

In-person seats are limited to 20, so early registration is encouraged.
