Agents of Change is a cohort-based program that runs through eight virtual sessions on Wednesdays 11a-1p PST. The program focuses on incorporating antiracist practices in the nonprofit sector and beyond. You belong in this space if you are ready to dismantle white supremacy norms, reimagine and challenge the systems we participate in, and rebuild your networks and work environment with a collective justice framework.
Program topics include:
- Implicit bias
- The nonprofit industrial complex
- Restructuring organizational norms
- Volunteer engagement with an antiracist lens
Sessions are very interactive and activities include:
- Team-building
- In-depth discussions
- Weekly readings and homework
- Unlearning norms and practices rooted in white supremacy within the nonprofit sector
