For the third year, the New York City Capacity Building Collaborative is partnering with The Management Center to provide practical management skills training designed for social justice leaders.
You are invited to apply for an online training course, Managing with an Equity and Inclusion Lens. This 4-part training will be held via Zoom at the following dates/times:

Wed., Sept. 9, from 1pm-4pm
Tues., Sept. 15, from 1pm-4pm

This course will teach best practices for high-performing, equitable organizations, including: aligning on clear, inclusive expectations on both specific projects and broad responsibilities, effectively seeking and sharing feedback across lines of power, and hiring and developing a strong team. The goal is to provide knowledge and tools that help turn good intentions into outstanding and lasting results through effective, equitable management.
The content will also address the needs of the current moment related to COVID-19 and the racial justice uprisings, including working in a remote environment, reprioritizing/making space to live and work in the time of pandemic, and meeting the opportunity and urgency in the current social and political climate.
This training will consist of individual work, group activities, role-plays, and presentation. Participants will have time to apply and translate the tools to their work contexts and get input from the trainer and peers.
You should apply if:
You directly supervise staff, interns or consultants in some capacity, or
You consistently manage others on significant projects or campaigns (even if you’re not directly supervising)
You’re eager to learn new tools, frameworks, and practices to support your management
You’re open to thinking critically and newly about your individual and organizational practices on managing with an equity and inclusion lens.
