Inclusive DeLand Training Series

 The MainStreet DeLand Association is excited to present our Inclusive DeLand Training Series. Our vision statement says that, “we will welcome all people to enjoy our unique downtown destination.” One of our goals is to help support and provide diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility resources to our local businesses and community members, in order to ensure our community is welcoming to all.

In an effort to stay committed to this we have partnered with JHD Diversity Consultants and put together an Inclusive DeLand Training series that is free to watch thanks to our partnership with the City of DeLand and Volusia County.

If you were unable to participate in the series in person, we also have an option for individuals to watch the sessions via recording. If you complete all five workshops you will receive an Inclusive DeLand Certification.

At the end of the session we will ask participants to complete a short assessment to provide feedback and identify concepts of learning. If you attend all five Inclusive DeLand Training Sessions and complete the assessment associated with each session you will receive the Inclusive DeLand Certification and sticker.
