CompassPoint Group Picture 2023

CompassPoint is a home for nonprofit workers and progressive changemakers who are reimagining leadership, shifting power, and working towards building a more just and equitable world.

We’ve been learning alongside our communities—supporting those who take on the risk and responsibility of leading in these complex, urgent times. We don’t just teach leadership—we live it, shape it, and co-create it in partnership with others. Learn more about our story, values, and the people behind this work.

Fueling Change Together

For over 50 years, CompassPoint has been committed to supporting nonprofit workers by creating participatory learning spaces for leadership development, building community, and examining how their organizations can embody more equitable values. Today, we are learning alongside our community and embracing new ideas. We are innovating our programs and cultivating cutting-edge liberatory practices that are rooted in solidarity, care, joy, and collective liberation in support of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color working to shift power in their workplaces, communities, and movements.
