Co-Learning
We offer a series of four 2-hour sessions that cover the following topics and key areas for engagement:
CO-CREATE values, vision, and ways of being that support racial equity and liberation
DECONSTRUCT current inequitable systems
DECOLONIZE patterns that reinforce racism and oppression
COLLABORATE across differences to build new equitable systems and accountability structures
Learning Communities
We offer structured learning cohorts for organizations or communities interested in deepening their understanding of racial equity and developing the skills necessary to build equitable and inclusive teams and organizations.
Learning communities usually take place over the course of a year and include co-learnings, coaching, and online resources.
Facilitation Training
Organizations are invited to send small diverse teams of 2 - 4 people to become trained discussion leaders to support the racial equity work within your organization.
Participants will all receive:
Four 2-hour facilitation training sessions
Six monthly one-hour group coaching sessions
Annual access to curriculum templates & resources for Equity, Core & Change Teams, and Affinity Groups.

Coaching Circles
Coaching supports leaders and change agents in driving internal change initiatives so they can realize their vision and move forward in thoughtful, effective, and proven ways.
Monthly drop-in coaching for all nINA facilitators and Community of Practice members offers an opportunity to ask questions and problem-solve with peers as well as Directors from nINA Collective.
Quarterly Leadership Coaching Circles to allow leaders from partner organizations to discuss challenges and successes to support one another in navigating change.
Reading and Reflection Groups
In these groups, participants receive regular assignments that may be from a book, a podcast, a video, an article, and sometimes even a social media post that will spark new thinking and conversation around race and racial justice. Participants receive assignments in advance, and are then able to join with others for deep discussion about the shared material.
