The Elevate Team’s mission is to facilitate conversations and learning with Extension professionals to equip and empower them to reach and engage diverse and underserved audiences within their communities.
Elevate is an internal staff development program for all Tennessee Extension Professionals. Elevate focuses on these objectives:
- Increase awareness and appreciation for cultural differences.
- Enhance cultural competency.
- Increase skills and confidence for engaging in difficult conversations.
- Develop and practice inclusive behaviors that create an atmosphere of belonging within the workplace.
- Build more inclusive communities by engaging diverse and underserved audiences in Extension programming.
Through book club discussions, workshops, webinars, and other learning opportunities, we explore the many, varied aspects of diversity and engage in ongoing dialogue as we all learn how we, as Tennessee Extension professionals, can create meaningful change in our spheres of influence.
