Cultural Proficiency Workshops
Are you serving more new arrivals in your business or organization?
Do you want to learn more about American Indian culture?
Do new arrivals make up a significant part of your workforce?
For over 110 years Neighborhood House has been helping people, families and organizations develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to thrive in diverse communities. We share what we have learned in our Cultural Proficiency Workshops. Our presenters are deeply immersed in their native and American cultures and share their personal experiences and the experiences of their community.
In each workshop, you will:
Learn the basics of each culture's history, family systems, beliefs and practices
Become more confident in your interactions with other cultures
Learn how to reach out and engage members of other cultures
Learn general attitudes and experiences of each culture toward health care, education, mental health and more

| "Standard Heating & Air Conditioning continues to offer diversity training for all of our employees. Working with Neighborhood House we were able to have a cultural awareness workshop that was customized to the needs of our business and provided the necessary skills to our employees." Troy Gregory, President |
| “We thought Kalue, Garat, Cha-Cho and Boa were the best. They couldn’t have been more helpful. Your people are articulate, caring knowledgeable and sensitive to our needs. It gave our organization a perspective we were missing and helped our understanding of different cultures.” Dean Weigel, Executive Director, Loaves & Fishes. |
“For those who hunger to learn more about the world in which we live and work, the workshop provides powerful lessons! I highly recommend them for all educators.”
Sue Vento, Field Representative, Education Minnesota

Immigrant Stories Revealed
 Every story has a setting -- the time and space in which events take place. Immigration is one of the biggest  challenges our nation faces; we must stop to listen and tell our immigrant stories of the past and present -- the time is now, and the space is all around us.
A twenty-six minute DVD documenting the experiences of new arrivals in the United States, Immigrant Stories Revealed can be ordered by calling 651.789.2567 or by email. Cost is $15.
The study guide is free and can be downloaded here. | |
