Centering People During Organizational Change and Transition (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, June 2, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 4, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
Do you feel it, too? The world is calling us to adapt over and over again in deep ways to face a wide variety of challenges. How do we navigate these transitions while honoring folks' humanity? In a time of significant change in our world and our organizations, it’s more important than ever to gain skills and perspectives about how to lead people through transition.
When you are leading a team or an organization through a difficult change – when leadership is especially important – you will inevitably challenge what people hold dear: their daily habits, their loyalties, and their ways of thinking. This training is for social change and nonprofit leaders who lead teams and drive and influence change in their organizations. Even if you don’t hold formal positional leadership at your organization, you are welcome to join!
[BIPOC Leaders] Conflict Resolution with Power and Privilege in Mind (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, June 9, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 11, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
Interpersonal conflict isn’t a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. Many of us are taught to avoid conflict, forgetting that on the other side of tension we can often find transformation.
When we get into conflict with each other (at our organizations or in movement spaces), we often do so without taking time and space beforehand to slow down and explore our own relationship to conflict—namely, what drives our reactions and how our approach to conflict relates to power and privilege. This is a space to learn how to shift power dynamics by employing communication skills like listening, inquiry, and empathy.
This is a space for participants who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
[BIPOC Leaders] Facilitation Skills: Creating Powerful and Purposeful Meetings (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 18, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
Meetings! We’ve all experienced what it’s like when they go wrong: conversations that go nowhere and leave people feeling frustrated. Additionally, our approach to planning meetings doesn't always take into consideration how race, gender, power and privilege show up in our teams--and so these spaces often replicate the very types of power dynamics we should be trying to dismantle in the world around us.
This online workshop is a space to learn effective meeting habits, develop skills to plan a meeting, explore how to wield power to unlock everyone’s gifts and contributions, get the right voices in the room, and guide conversations toward meaningful goals.
This is a space for participants who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
Finance Fundamentals: Understanding Key Language, Concepts, and Practices (3-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 18, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 3: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
Financial knowledge and practices aren’t just technical—they can be transformational and build power, too. But in order to shift our systems and approaches to money to better reflect social justice values, we need to grow access and understanding about finance across our teams.
This three-session training is an opportunity to understand core language and skills about nonprofit finance in an expressly political context where we critically examine how capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy shape nonprofit financial reporting and systems.
Leading with Pro-Black Values During Change & Transition Panel
Wednesday, June 17, 2026 | 12:00pm - 2:00pm Pacific Time
In times of organizational, social, and personal transition, the pressure to assimilate, minimize, or set aside one's values can be immense. This powerful panel brings together leaders, practitioners, and change-makers who have remained rooted in pro-Black values, communal accountability, and a commitment to justice even when the terrain is uncertain. Our panelists will speak candidly about how they have navigated leadership during moments of upheaval — from organizational restructuring and political shifts to cultural reckonings — without abandoning the principles of dignity, equity, and Pro-Blackness that center their work.
This space is for you, Black leader. We honor and acknowledge all the ways you show up as a leader, formally and informally. Whether you're navigating a shifting workplace, a changing community landscape, or a personal crossroad, join us for an honest, grounding, and forward-looking conversation.
Transformational Supervision: Grounding in Relationships and Structures That Help Us Thrive (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 25, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
When you think of supervision, what comes to mind? What feelings does it evoke?
Many of us have been conditioned to think that a “successful” supervisor must exercise dominant power -- control, manipulation, or coercion -- over others. We believe that our primary functions as supervisors are to manage tasks, enforce rules, manage one’s behavior, and/or exert authority.
Transformational Supervision offers another way. It’s an invitation to see supervision as a system and relational process that supports growth and mutual thriving for the organization and all of its employees.
Distributing Power Through Collaborative Budgeting
DAY 1: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Wednesday, July 22, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 3: Wednesday, July 29, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
Leading conversations about money and power in our organizations can be deeply challenging and sometimes isolating. While many justice-oriented leaders advocate for collaborative processes, we are often insufficiently supported in addressing issues of power and the emotional content of money conversations that arise in cross-class, multi-racial, and mixed-generational groups.
In this new series, we will discuss ways to strengthen a culture of collective budgeting at our organizations, helping to shape a yearly practice of distributed organizational resource planning (aka “a budget”). You will gain clarity on your role in leading and stewarding the process and identify the roles other parties in the organization have to play in yearly financial planning. With the support of other participants, you will explore some of the challenges you may face along the way and identify how to evolve your process incrementally, molding the budget process over time to meet the culture and needs of your organization.
