EMBRACING DIVERSITY

Campaign Neighborhood - CFNBA works primarily in People of Color and Working Poor neighborhoods for infrastructural changes.

It has a guiding principle to work with and empower People of Color and the Working Poor.

Diversity in ideas, ways of operating, policy-making and resources is necessary for our reform efforts.

We define the Working Poor to include but not limited to: the homeless, the unemployed, the under-employed, the disable; and, the Middle Class of America.

CULTURAL COMPETENCIES

We value the importance of culture in the delivery of our services.

We give particular attention to the needs of underserved and racial/ethnic groups, and the integration of cultural attitudes, beliefs, education and training, and workplace environments.

It is here that we seek to pay close attention to identify “cultural bias” and offer best practices, creating standards in strategic planning and channel development.

What is Cultural Competencies?

(taken from Cultural Competencies online - CEOServices@culturalcompetence2.com)

Cultural Competence is the identification and development of skills by individuals and systems to live and work with, educate and serve diverse individuals and communities.

It is the willingness and ability of a system to value the importance of culture and culture competencies in the delivery of services to all segments of the population.

It is the use of a systems perspective which values differences and is responsive to diversity at all levels of an organization, i.e., policy, governance, administrative, workforce, provider, and consumer/client.

Cultural competence is developmental, neighborhood-community focused, family oriented, and culturally relevant.

Culturally Competent activities include developing skills through training, using self-assessment tools, and implementing goals and objectives to ensure that governance, administrative policies and practices, and clinical skills and practices are responsive to diversity within the populations served.

In particular, it is:

  • the attention to the needs of underserved and racial/ethnic groups, and the integration of cultural attitudes, beliefs, and practices into diagnosis and treatment, education and training, and workplace environments.
  • the continuous promotion of skills, practices and interactions to ensure that services are culturally responsive and competent.

We support the advancement of “cultural competencies” through three main stages presented by Dr. Delores C.S. James, Unviersity of FL:

  • developing awareness
  • acquiring knowledge, and
  • developing and maintaining cross-cultural skills.

An example of of our cross-cultural competencies rather than monocultural competencies are the MPA-Milwaukee Professionals Associations that will be developed during the Smart Growth 5-Year Signature Plan (2005–2010).
