The Racial Justice Program will create measurable change for racial justice and inclusion by supporting and developing FNPOC talent as well as organisational and movement capacity.

Organisations struggle with cultural safety, recruitment and retention of FNPOC talent, and meaningful representation in leadership.

FNPOC in the NFP sector struggle with racial injustice: lack of leadership opportunities or outright exclusion.

As a result, organisations are far less impactful, failing to harness talents and experience of FNPOC, nor to meaningfully work with communities of colour towards Climate, racial, and economic Justice.

We will fail to build the power in communities we need to win, if we do not practise Racial Justice.

Democracy in Colour will open doors for FNPOC with talent, professional and lived experience expertise to represent our communities, lead and build real power in your organisation for social change.

The Racial Justice Program provides:

In-depth training to build and support on-the-job learning, resilience, justice practises, personal confidence, and up-skilling; the majority of training is delivered by FNPOC expert facilitators.

Professional mentoring by senior FNPOC mentors to build leadership and management capacity, skills and knowledge

Peer to Peer coaching, support, collaboration, solidarity and safety for sharing common lived experiences and meeting challenges.

Culturally safe, co-designed nurturing and productive spaces and experiences are actively embedded in the program to provide participants with a powerful, connected, validating, and transformative experience.

Key to the program’s success is that we work with participants and their workplaces/ movement to build anti-oppression and racial justice cultures rooted in equity, justice and fairness.
