    Community Foundation Awards Grant to Embracing Our Differences

    SRQ Gives Back

    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY OCT 8, 2016 |

    The Our Sarasota and McCauley-Brown Funds of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County recently awarded Embracing Our Differences a $4,500 grant to help fund and enhance its 2016–2017 educator workshops. A key component of its education initiatives, Embracing Our Differences' annual teacher workshops and retreats provide area educators with skills, strategies and resources to provide curricula and lesson plans relating to art appreciation, character building and diversity education. Teachers are shown the importance of creating an inclusive and safe environment for all students—specifically those who do not conform to gender norms. Since 2004, Embracing Our Differences has been a pioneer in promoting the virtues and benefits of equality and inclusion.
