Monthly Commitment

Your racial affinity group may meet physically, virtually, or a combination of in-person and online.

Each participant should be willing to commit to the year-long program, including prerequisites and meeting assignments.

You have access to available lessons the Online Academy 24/7.  

Monthly commitments include: 

  1. Completing the individual assignments and reflections on the Online Academy (estimated at approximately 3 hours per month). 
  2. Meeting monthly with your racial affinity group (estimated at 3 hours per month).

Schedule monthly affinity group meetings for the year

Once you are confirmed in the program, a powerful indicator of group commitment is to schedule your monthly meetings for the year. In this way, busy people can plan accordingly! 

Lesson plans are released on the first of each month. Therefore, we encourage you to meet with your affinity groups mid to later in the month. This gives each participant time to complete the lesson planning and be prepared for ultimate engagement.
