What is The Equity Coalition?

The Equity Coalition is a collaborative experience for Teach For America Alumni in Sacramento who have a deep conviction and curiosity about the future of learning and reimagining student experiences. As a participant you will join a cohort of leaders in Sacramento and engage in a series of workshops facilitated by our partners at Transcend Education. These workshops are designed to provide space to explore the following topics and ideas:

• Exploring Power and Privilege How can looking at our past through the lens of inequity and oppression help us reach for something better?
• Imagining an Alternative Future How can imagining a new more equitable future help us reach for something better?
• Building Coalitions What can we do in the present to reach for something better?

Who are we looking for?

• Community leaders who are interested in thinking about innovation and thinking outside the box about what is possible in classrooms, schools and communities
• People who want to build community around a shared vision for equity in Sacramento
• People who are hungry for change and want to roll up their sleeves to work in partnership with others

How is The Equity Coalition structured?

• Kick-Off Call – 45 minute opening with the opportunity to connect with fellow participants
• Workshop Series – A series of 3 Spark Workshops
• Mentor Match – Coalition members have the option of being matched with a school principal or district leader 1:1 for a series of mentorship conversations
