Extension to develop tribal-focused leadership program
The Tribes Lead! program will assist leadership of the Great Lakes Tribal Nations as they address strategic issues impacting their communities.
Advancing Equity
Extension works with community leaders to remove institutional barriers, create inclusive organizations and ensure equitable opportunity for people who have been traditionally underrepresented.
We help leaders and organizations:
- increase their awareness of privilege, bias, and structural racism
- talk about what it means to be inclusive organizations and leaders
- facilitate conversations about equity
- identify opportunities to make changes that increase access
- design processes that ensure those most affected by policy and programs are at the table
Contact your county educator to discuss how Extension might assist you with your goals to increase access, invite inclusion, and support equitable opportunity in your community.
