DEIJ Leader Cohort 

PROGRAM APPROACH & ELEMENTS

All meetings and workshops will be held on Zoom. We use breakout rooms, full group discussions, and interactive tools to improve the online experience and keep engagement high. The Cohort is limited to 20 participants to allow for individual support and growth.

To achieve the greatest benefit and success, we are asking for participants to fully commit to all the elements including attending every scheduled activity. If any dates do not meet your schedule and you are still interested, please let us know what dates will not work for you on the registration form. ​

You all cultivated a spirit of openness that had such a strong feeling, across zoom, and held that container beautifully through the process.” ~2021/22 Cohort participant

This course has helped me have a RENEWED energy for DEI work and given me ideas to be excited about and push through burnout.”  ~2021/22 Cohort participant

One-on-One Coaching 
Five sessions, 50 minutes each

Each participant will be assigned a Leadership Coach, either one of the Capacity Building Partnerships’ faculty or a close associate experienced in DEIJ leadership and organizational development. Time will be spent working through personal dilemmas, thinking together about your leadership, and providing supportive environment where all questions are welcomed and encouraged. 

• I found this cohort incredibly valuable. I've been hungry for this kind of guidance and support for many years" ~2021/22 Cohort Participant

Additional Opportunities
Learning Partnerships

​​In addition to the elements and resources above, we will facilitate participant connections and learning partnerships where there is interest. These opportunities will be optional and designed with the participants in mind.

Each participant will be a part of a smaller Peer Learning Group that will meet between workshops to support one another around real-life DEIJ dilemmas and implementation challenges. Our intention is to support application of the concepts and skills discussed in the workshops. These sessions are supported by a faculty member and will be shaped by the interests and experience of the members of the group.

• The connection with others inspired me to continue to grow and learn for myself as well as my organization.” ~2021/22Cohort participant

DEIJ Resource Handbook & Online Portal
300+ pages of tools and resources

Participants will receive a printed copy and have PDF access to Capacity Building Partnerships’ extensive DEIJ Handbook. This 300+ page resource booklet will support participant learning during the Cohort and beyond. ​Participants also have access to an online portal where additional resources will be shared.

• I plan to use the Handbook for years to come.” ~2021/22 Cohort Participant
