| − | The ROOTEd’s team of peer facilitators are trained in issues of being and becoming American (meaning living in the United States) and what this means on a diverse college campus. The facilitators explore customs, beliefs, identity issues, and power differentials. ROOTEd teaches anti-bias strategies in conjunction with conflict resolution to help students create a community that is truly anti-oppressive. ROOTEd is committed to leaving students with the training necessary to address life long issues. Finally, ROOTEd is devoted to making the personal work that the peer facilitators do as important as the work that they bring to their peers. The goals of the ROOTEd curriculum not only target the University's students, but the volunteer peer facilitators as well. ROOTEd facilitators spend time exploring, confronting, and challenging their own tone, conduct, and vocabulary to establish respectful dialogue around difficult issues. ROOTEd facilitators are exposed to information regarding diverse cultural experiences, and are encouraged to consider their own identities, and to develop the necessary tools with which to communicate effectively and responsibly.
