Racial Justice Leadership for Organizations

In the past few years, OAP has added new streams of work to our training program, including short-term training and longer-term learning cohorts with groups of organizations wanting to strengthen themselves as racial justice organizations and leaders. This intentional, long-term strategy has helped some of the state's leading community organizations advance racial equity both internally and externally.

Organizations interested in this level of training are expected to commit their top board leadership, executive staff, and organizers, engaging in training retreats that focus on elements of building a racial justice organization. Participants deepen their capacity and conceptual clarity about moving racial justice inside their organization - as an organizational culture. Participants will be assessing their organization and developing a strategic plan that moves racial justice into the center of the organization.

Trainings with organizations require a commitment to at least three retreats that are multiracial and multicultural spaces which respect the distinctness of diverse cultures and communities and build common ground across them.
