Culturally responsive practices refer to approaches, strategies, and behaviors that acknowledge and respect the cultural backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of individuals and groups. These practices aim to create inclusive and equitable environments that value and validate diverse cultures, languages, traditions, and identities. By implementing culturally responsive practices, youth workers, programs, and providers can create inclusive, engaging, and empowering learning environments that support the success and well-being of all students. These practices promote equity, respect, and cultural diversity, and contribute to a more just and inclusive society.
