Justice, Equity & Belonging Training
YWCA Columbus is on a mission to advance racial equity. Our interactive Justice, Equity & Belonging training services (formerly known as DE&I Training) promote racial literacy, help you understand racism as a systemic problem, and teach you how to be anti-racist strategically, actively, and effectively.
Building a more inclusive Columbus relies on intention, information, and action. We must decide (and keep deciding) to fight racism. And we must learn how to do it.
See below our current offerings for individuals, small groups, and organizations.
