From planting the first seeds of awareness to building a self-sustaining culture of equality, Challenging Racism offers a path for individuals and institutions to grow. lead, and amplify meaningful change.
We offer immersive, relationship-driven programs for individuals, schools, nonprofits, and public/private organizations. Whether you’re starting the journey or deepening your commitment to equity, our programs are designed to meet you where you are—and move you forward.
