Consulting
Our consulting is based on years of experience providing guidance and support to organizations and individuals on effectively incorporating diversity, cultural competence, equity, human rights and environmental justice into programs, services and community development initiatives.
Workshops & Training
Our workshops and training use a multi-method approach (small group exercises, large group discussions, videos, etc.) that is customized to clients’ needs. Our workshops and training encourage participants to reflect on the unconscious biases and assumptions they hold about race, culture, gender, sexual orientation and other “diversity concepts” in a safe environment.
