Raising BIPOC Youth for White Guardians | Eugene
For white parents/guardians/caregivers of BIPOC youth aged 10-18
Saturday, June 1
10:00am-1:00pm
In Person, Eugene site
FREE – Donations Welcome
Registration deadline: May 24.
Many white parents and guardians struggle with the question of how to help their children of color thrive in a racist culture they themselves can recognize but cannot fully understand. This workshop aims to explore unique issues related to white parents raising youth of color, including why “colorblind” strategies are unhelpful, why talking about race is important, and why building community benefits both parents and children. This workshop is led by white and BIPOC therapists, and together, we will discuss the ways privilege, culture, race, and racism intersect and interplay in mixed race families’ everyday lives as well as how white parents can practice antiracism individually and collectively.

About the Book:
From the NEA website: Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, written by Roz Chast, a long time cartoonist for the New Yorker, is a “tour de force” (Elle), “remarkable” (San Francisco Chronicle), “revelatory” (Kirkus), “deeply poignant and laugh-out-loud funny” (New York Times), and “one of the great autobiographical memoirs of our time” (Buffalo News). A finalist for the National Book Award and winner of the Kirkus Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Books for a Better Life Award, the memoir tells the story of Chast’s parents’ final years through cartoons, family photos, found documents, and narrative prose. “So many have faced (or will face) the situation that the author details, but no one could render it like she does” (Kirkus). “Anyone who has had Chast’s experience will devour this book and cling to it for truth, humor, understanding, and the futile wish that it could all be different” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). “I want to recommend it to everyone I know who has elderly parents, or might have them someday” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).

Tomorrow’s Inventions for Tomorrow’s Women | Albany
Ages 10-18
Award Ceremony: Friday, March 1st, 5-7pm
Registration required
Have you ever thought of an out of the box idea that would make a great invention? Or have you ever had the thought, “Why doesn’t this exist yet?” Whatever it is, you will have the chance to make your ideas a reality with this activity! Girls will have the opportunity to create and build a model of their invention during the month of February. Then, those inventions will be taken to the Albany Regional Museum and be displayed as a special exhibit for the entire month of March.
On March 1st, youth and guardians are invited to a special OP event at the museum, where girls’ inventions will be honored with a patent award ceremony, and the new exhibit with their creations will be unveiled. Please register for this activity if you would like to participate in the project and attend the patent award ceremony on March 1st. The Albany Regional Museum is located at 136 SE Lyon St S, Albany, OR 97321, just a few blocks from OP. We are so excited to see what you invent!
