đź“ŁTestimonials

Here is what past participants in our training offerings have had to say about our programs…

“DO IT! No better experience for specific nuts-and-bolts support in the context of very much knowing North Carolina and organizing. Didn’t feel like a “one-off” training, but an investment in our relationships and larger organizing movement. I put to use immediately some of the things we learned and practiced (like feedback!) with success. This training was just in time and just right.”

Abby Lublin, Executive Director, Carolina Jews for Justice

“This training is a great way to gain introspective knowledge, expand your leadership as well as examine more effective ways to show up.”

Dr. Shavon Leach, Program Manager, NC A. Philip Randolph Education Fund

“Great place to learn about how to lead teams with clarity, compassion, and skill!”
