The New York State Bar Association COVID-19 Pro Bono Network is pleased to present a free training on Thursday, June 17, 2021 about Cultural Humility to Build Competence: a Training for Pro Bono Attorneys. This is the LAST session in the planned series of eight rounds of training that started last October 2020.

The training will help pro bono volunteers learn the skills to better serve diverse low-income clients. It begins with three 20-minute on-demand modules (available now) covering an introduction, intersectionality, and language access. Participants are asked to watch the asynchronous modules at their convenience, ideally prior to June 17, 2021, and send their questions and reflections after each module to lmoy@lasnny.org and Bryant@law.cuny.edu. The modules can be found at the following link: nysba.org/attorneytrainingculturalhumility

Training materials can be found at the following link: https://nysba.org/attorneytrainingculturalhumility/

Participants will then attend a final live one-hour session on June 17, 2021 at noon. This session aims to build skills in cross-cultural representation of diverse low-income clients by building on the learning, lessons, and questions from the asynchronous modules. The registration link for the live session is as follows: https://nysba.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUlf-iurz0uGd0vAi2r0vfdKe9Q-wwExZmQ

AABANY Board Director Karen Yau is one of the trainers for the on-demand, asynchronous modules on language access and the lead trainer for the live portion of this last training on June 17th.
