Focus Areas

  • From convening dialogic spaces to collaborative projects: we strive to be a facilitator and connective tissue between and across community, beyond theoretical and digital solidarities.

  • When we provide racialized youth with spaces in which they feel safe, affirmed, and empowered, we create the conditions necessary for truly radical and imaginative systemic change.

  • We create opportunities for collaboration, bridging relationships between community and institution towards shared equity goals.

  • Beyond our core work, we hold space and capacity to respond to community needs, to build, and to dream.
