Making Moves Ep. 17: Gender Equity - Oakland's PCA + SEAC
It was a thrill to hear from Robert Marcus, the Chief Community Impact Officer from Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). We also spoke with Khali Blackman-Newton, the Director of Community Engagement in Northern California for PCA. Both discussed the PCA’s mission to change culture and behavior throughout youth sports. This is fulfilled through establishing the PCA’s first youth sports coalition, focusing on establishing a community-specific Sports Equity Coalition to create and implement a Sports Equity Agenda specific to the local community. This is called the Oakland Sport Equity and Access Coalition (SEAC). The two guests share a bit about their reasons for facilitating these convenings, while speaking to the importance of representation for youth of color within low-income neighborhoods when participating in sports.
Thank you so much for listening in on this important conversation. I encourage you to consider becoming a coach and joining the coalition. Below, I have listed some resources:
