Leadership ARC
for White Leaders
This group is for white executives, managers and other leaders who are interested in moving to the next level of personal and organizational equity work. The 8-week, small-group cohort program is a place for learning, reflection, peer support, and action, based in frameworks of intersectional social justice and challenging white supremacy culture.
By addressing how we do our leadership work and confronting common patterns rooted in oppressive systems, we can strategically move organizational culture and practice toward alignment with antiracist values.

Cost
This program is offered at a sliding scale based on the organization’s budget. More info below!
Why should white leaders develop antiracism skills in affinity spaces? And why should orgs invest in white leaders this way?
You can read about a few important reasons on our blog, but don’t just take our word for it. Check out what participants are saying:
“The facilitators held us with learning that built up both our knowledge and our ability to take action. As a non-profit leader, the framework got to the core of how to disrupt white supremacy in my work.”
"Leadership ARC gave me a heightened
willingness to be uncomfortable and to cause discomfort in service
of greater equity and the dismantling of white supremacy culture."
"This group has made an impact not only in how I show up and do my work, but will also help change the trajectory of how our organization practices."
"This was the most beneficial anti-racist training / workshop I've taken. The structure, facilitation, and content were all wonderful."
“I got a new perspective on anti-racism work generally, possible approaches, the breadth and depth of available materials for the undertaking—in short, how much I don’t know.”
Sliding scale
This program is offered at a sliding scale. For participants who use professional development funds from their employer to participate, the cost is based on the organization’s budget (or the department’s budget in larger organizations):
$750 – recommended for organizations with annual budgets up to $500,000
$1500 – recommended for organizations with annual budgets between $500,000 and $2.5M
$2500+ – recommended for organizations with annual budgets over $2.5M
Honor system: For some organizations it might make sense to pay a lower or higher rate than recommended. For instance, if most of your budget goes to providing direct services and comes from restricted funding streams, you might pay a lower rate; on the other hand, if your organization has a small budget because it has a small staff, but the staff are highly-paid professionals, consider paying a higher rate.
Organizations have paid as little as $250 and as much as $3500. Having a wide and flexible sliding scale allows organizations that can afford it to support the program so that it remains available to organizations that can’t afford much.
For participants whose employers will not support their participation, there is a separate sliding scale for individuals paying out of pocket.
