Collective Support

Collective Support is an 11-month affinity-based cohort experience tailored to the leadership and wellness needs of school and after school site leaders of color. We assist leaders in unpacking challenging problems of practice that impact their ability to create generative learning spaces for youth, investigate their thought process & decision making, and design new ways of thinking and being.

Participant Reflections on Collective Support Experience

100% of the cohort strongly agreed they left the experience with actionable steps they can take to solve critical problems of practice.

"Collective Support has allowed me an opportunity to examine the educational concerns I have, in a safe place, while urging me to codify those concerns and possible actions because of them."
