Groundwater

Intro to Race Equity

A typical Groundwater Presentation is a three-hour introduction to Racial Equity, and we can adjust to accommodate a shorter time slot or to dive deeper if you are able to allocate up to a full day.

Phase 1

REI’s two-day Phase 1 training is designed to develop the capacity of participants to better understand racism in its institutional and structural forms.

Latinx Challenges

Latino Challenges is a two-day workshop for people who live in or work with Latino communities and are interested in ending racial disparities in our institutions and working together for social justice.

youth training
The 2 day event is an opportunity for the youth to understand the concept of racial equity, the history of race and racism, and why it is crucial to address this in order to continue reaching divine goals in society, with monthly follow-up sessions post-training.
