The National Urban Extension Leaders (NUEL) is committed to raising national discussion about topics that matter to urban Extensionists and the communities we serve. NUEL's newest action team, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI), will help elevate this dialogue and enhance our understanding of various topics and resource barriers within the cities we serve.
This action team will explore hot topics through a JEDI lens. Let's learn how we might effectively help community members navigate issues on policing, education, infrastructure, environment, and much more.
Together we will work to:
- Improve engagement with gatekeepers/key informants in cities.
- Increase community partnerships.
- Enhance capacity to address inequities and accessibility in urban communities.
Ready to join? Please email Durriyyah Kemp (kemp@illinois.edu) and Nicole Debose (debose.8@osu.edu) to let us know you're in! Our first action team meeting is on September 21 at 1:00 pm EDT/12:00 pm CDT.
The Professional Development Action Team is also accepting new members. Are you interested in joining? Please contact Brenda Gay Rogers at bgrogers@ufl.edu for more information.
