The LGBT Multicultural Diversity Project is a collaborative project offered by Alma Soongi Beck and Terry Berman (www.terryberman.com).

The goal of the Multicultural Diversity Project is to support LGBT Organizations by providing training and organizational development in efforts to increase inclusiveness, competency and understanding of cultural and racial differences by:

• Building an increased awareness about our conscious and unconscious attitudes and beliefs about ourselves and other groups;

• Learning tools for understanding the intersection between race and other isms including homophobia;

• Identifying the function and dysfunctional behaviors that either increase or decrease our effectiveness in building authentic relationships across differences within the LGBT community.

If your organization is looking for opportunities to work with the Multicultural Diversity Project, you can work with us to:

• Conduct a Building Multicultural LGBT Organizations Workshop
• With the staff, board and/or key volunteers of your organization; or
• In collaboration with other LGBT organizations.

• Conduct ongoing organizational development.

• Guidelines for Effective Cross-Cultural Interactions.
