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  URL:https://metrocaring.org/event/free-first-look-shifting-towards-solidarity-webinar-and-training-series/ LOCATION:Metro Caring\, 1100 E. 18th Ave.\, Denver\, CO\, 80218\, United States CATEGORIES:Training & Acceleration ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://metrocaring.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Website-Event-3.png ORGANIZER;CN="Joy Concepcion":MAILTO:jconcepcion@metrocaring.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
