(the following program is currently on hiatus!)

 The DiverseCITY (D-CITY) program is a peer education initiative that matches D-CITY representatives with diverse populations of youth in our communities. The peer education is centered on the cultivation of awareness of issues that impact youth on three levels: internal, interpersonal, and institutional. The workshops are designed to stimulate interaction utilizing popular education strategies for instruction (circular dialogue).

D-CITY reps go through a three-month training process (October-December) prior to facilitating workshops in the community. During the training process the D-CITY reps explore socially relevant issues such as race/ethnicity, gender/sex, sexual orientation, citizenship/nationality, and globalization. Following their training, they spend 2-3 afternoons each week at school and community sites where they lead other youth in interactive workshops addressing issues of diversity. Over a thousand youth are meaningfully served each year through this program.
