David J. Martineau moved to St. Louis from Michigan in 2005, and is grateful and humbled to be working with NCCJSTL on anti-oppression and diversity training.

Dave first heard about NCCJSTL's exemplary programs while pursuing his Master's in Social Work at the University of Michigan. It was there that Dave first participated in intergroup dialogues on power, privilege and oppression, and thus grew his interest in critical consciousness development. That is, how do people come to understand themselves as members of privileged and oppressed groups in society? How can that awareness motivate action for social justice? How can programs foster critical consciousness development for participants in ways that create more just communities? 

Dave's experience in the field has revolved around diversity, intergroup dialogues and youth work. He has worked with the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation to deliver youth-centered leadership development for youth people and to train adults who work with youth in community-based programs. He works with the Center for Youth Program Quality in Ypsilanti, Michigan on projects to train, support, and evaluate youth programs. He has coordinated organizational change initiatives and provided consulting services for addressing diversity issues within social service agencies and youth development programs. Dave served on the advisory board of Break Away, a national nonprofit organization that trains and supports students in coordinating service learning projects on college campuses. 
 
Dave currently teaches courses on human diversity and social work  practice with sexual minorities at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. Dave has also taught courses on human behavior in the social environment, adolescent development, social change theory, and culturally competent practice in the schools of social work at University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University.
