Virtual Workshop for CalWORKs & CalFresh All Staff

This workshop is designed for those leading or supporting data collection and/or analysis. 

In our data-driven world, ensuring equity in data practices is essential for creating effective solutions to the pressing needs faced by individuals and communities. This workshop will provide a deep dive into existing equity and inclusion-focused data tools that can be used to promote favorable changes for the CalWORKs and CalFresh programs and their participants. Attendees will explore and practice methods for conducting equity-focused data audits as well as for enhancing data transparency, accountability, participation, and interpretation. Participants will leave the session having identified the data practices they would like to refine within their system as well as with specific tools and resources needed to take action.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Engage in meaningful conversations about the importance of collecting and analyzing data through an equity lens.
• Identify equity gaps that exist within their existing data collection and analysis procedures. 
• Utilize tools to drive improvement in equitable data collection methods and analysis.
