Our organization aims to develop leaders who foster a sense of belonging for everyone, with careful attention to the ways race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and socioeconomic status can impact both who has a seat at the table and who feels welcome to be there. We support our entire community as we work alongside all who are adversely affected every day in large and small ways by forms of systemic injustice.
