In recent years and with the expansion of our team, our work has evolved to center Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) movement workers in government through our CCORE Transformative Leadership Cohort (TLC). BIPOC leaders in public service are changing systems from within while being asked to survive unjust systems.

The Transformative Leadership Cohort (TLC) nurtures their leadership with the tools, care, and community they need to thrive. With your support, we’re fueling transformation where it matters most. Don’t just uplift leaders—invest in them to lead change. Your donation will help support the continuation of BIPOC-centered learning and healing. Our goal is to fundraise $10,000 by the end of the year to help us move towards our ultimate fundraising and development goal of $88,000 by August 2026.

"The content I’ve learned from CCORE TLC has clarified and defined many concepts that I used to struggle to articulate. There were many instances in which I did not have the vocabulary or context to describe and process what I’m experiencing as a person of color. Naming and recognizing the mechanisms and effects of white supremacy has greatly improved my ability to preform my job in a way that advance equity for all people, while recognizing that I’m not alone. One of the most impactful lessons I’ve learned from CCORE is the importance of self-care and resiliency through community."
