The Boulder JCC is partnering with the Boulder Office of Disaster Management for our Disaster Strong Preparedness Workshop, Train-the-Trainer.

This workshop is intended for participants who want to support preparedness efforts in the Boulder County community by becoming Community Preparedness Ambassadors who work to teach community peers the essentials of disaster preparedness. There’s no need to have any prior knowledge of disaster preparedness – this series will equip participants with all the info they’ll need to successfully facilitate the preparedness content to peers by covering emergency notification information, how to conduct a personal risk assessment, creating a plan, and facilitation skills.

Participants should bring a method for notetaking (notebook and writing utensil, laptop, etc.) and will leave with a copy of our Disaster Strong Facilitator Guide with access to our Community Preparedness Ambassadors webpage that contains all preparedness content with ways to connect with your fellow trainers.

Upon completion of this training our hope is that participants will work with their congregations, neighborhood associations, PTO, bowling league, book club or any other group you are associated with to help everyone be prepared.

TRUE COLORS is a salon theatre show in which Jews of Color share true stories about their yearning for belonging and the rich and complicated question that is identity. While all people face challenges and struggles, Jews of Color have many touching and unique stories to tell about resilience, self-respect, and celebrating the many colors and voices in our community.

The stories in TRUE COLORS, ostensibly about Jews who feel “different,” actually remind us how very much alike we are. In TRUE COLORS, audiences will meet unforgettable characters who tell personal stories about how they see themselves and how others see them. Ironically, while many American Jews can reach consensus about a commitment to social justice for others, they do not always embrace diversity in their own community. The enlightening show will explore the impact of living as Jews of Color when inclusion and equity are not always practiced in the Jewish community.

“We are proud to spotlight the experiences of Jews of Color.” said Ronda Spinak, The Braid’s Artistic Director. “These are poignant and moving stories of questioning, of feeling like the outsider, of committing to Judaism…quintessential and universal Jewish stories!”

TRUE COLORS was created and produced by The Braid (formerly Jewish Women’s Theatre) as part of its Salon Theatre season in May 2019 with material curated and adapted by Ronda Spinak, directed by Susan Morgenstern and co-produced by Eric Greene. Learn more about The Braid.
