SUMMARY:Free First Look: Shifting towards Solidarity Webinar and Training Series
DESCRIPTION: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. \nMetro 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. \nThis is a free first look at our upcoming series. \nPlease register to attend. \nWhat’s This Session About?\nAcross 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. \nAt 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. \nThis 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: \n\nWhat does it really mean to be community-led?\nHow does shared power show up in our day-to-day work?\nHow do we design systems that reflect the wisdom already present in our community?\n\nWhy Attend In Person?\nWhile 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. \nIn-person seats are limited to 20\, so early registration is encouraged. \nYou’ll Get a Preview Of:\n\nNavigating Scarcity Together\nFrom Charity to Solidarity\nTrauma-Informed Spaces\nBuilding Better Systems: Operationalizing Equity in the Hidden Spaces of Service\nOutcomes Flow from Solidarity: Community-Led Evaluation\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Navigating Scarcity Together - Full Live Training
DESCRIPTION:Scarcity changes how we think and how we serve. In a time when we are facing unprecedented scarcity\, let’s understand it together. \nWhen we are worrying about food\, housing\, safety\, or stability\, our brains shift into survival mode. Focus narrows. Decisions become harder. Trust can erode. What may look like disengagement or resistance is often cognitive overload.\nBut scarcity doesn’t stop there. \nNonprofit professionals are also navigating limited time\, funding pressure\, policy constraints\, and overwhelming need. Under that strain\, urgency can replace reflection. Systems become rigid. Burnout grows. Even the most compassionate teams can find themselves reacting instead of responding. \nThis training brings both sides into the same frame. \nSpringing from the science to scarcity and behavioral economics—and strengthened by the lived experience of the facilitators who have navigated scarcity firsthand—this session helps participants see how strain shapes behavior on both sides of the helping relationship. \nParticipants will leave with: \n\nA clearer understanding of how scarcity affects real people—physically\, mentally\, and relationally\nLanguage to describe what they’re seeing in themselves and others\nA practical lens for responding in ways that build dignity\, agency\, and trust\n\nThis is a stand-alone training that offers immediate insight and practical grounding\, while also serving as a foundation for deeper work in solidarity and systems change. \nIn-Person Live Training\nDate: March 11\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nLocation: Metro Caring – Granite Building\n1726 N Downing St\, Denver\, CO 80218\nFormat: In-person workshop \nONLINE SELF-PACED VERSION AVAILABLE ONGOING\nTickets: $150 In Person\nTickets: $150 – Online version \nSpecial Opportunity!!! If you are a Metro Caring volunteer and you have completed over 20 hours of volunteering\, you have access to our pay-what-you-can offer\, where you can pay what you can for each training based upon your capacity. \nPlease register to attend. \n
