Equity Grounded Coaching

After years of coaching young people and supporting the learning and development of youth coaches across the country we identified a need for greater time spent exploring themes of equity, power and privilege in the context of the coaching relationship.

  • "This training is very special. It provides opportunities for equity-focused self reflection, in a way that feels very non-judgmental; and it covers critical equity-centered topics in a way that does not feel overwhelming or intimidating, regardless of trainees' previous exposure to those topics."
