Position Overview

This program aims to foster community engagement, promote civil dialogue, and amplify moderate voices through a series of community conversations that bring Minnesotans together to discuss challenging topics.

Responsibilities of volunteer moderators include:

What is Shades of Purple: Dialogue across difference?

Shades of Purple: Dialogue across difference in greater Minnesota is a conversation program led by Project Optimist. We’re coordinating a series of community conversations that bring greater Minnesotans together to discuss controversial topics.

The goal is to provide a supportive environment where individuals can engage in moderated conversations around personal stories related to pressing topics impacting their communities today. By sharing experiences, participants build meaningful relationships, foster a deeper understanding of one another, and enhance their active listening skills. Shades of Purple works to strengthen connections within communities while promoting empathy, trust, and open dialogue.

The Shades of Purple events will feed into a podcast series and written stories published by Project Optimist. The stories will share insights from the events that the rest of Minnesota (and the world!) can learn from.

Have connections with youth in the community
