Racial Equity Cohort

Sign-up for the 2021 Racial Equity Cohort is closed.

In 2021, the ICoF is hosting a year-long Racial Equity Cohort experience for members. 54 participants, representing 27 different member organizations, will engage in 6 peer-supported learning sessions. Participants will also work with accountability partners throughout the year to explore together the lessons of the cohort and applying changes in practice and policy at their organizations — and personally. Change in practice and network progress will be measured using a Equity assessment tool designed specifically for the cohort.

The ICoF has pledged to support our members by providing space to learn about the structural racism that exists in our country; to understand the blind spots in our work; and to come together as a membership community to discuss solutions and strategies to create real, positive, and lasting change throughout Iowa and our nation. We are pleased to offer this cohort opportunity in 2021, and encouraged by the number of members who will be engaged in this journey.
