Coaching
The Soar Strategies team will provide coaching to two cohorts of 6 grantee organizations – each organization will have the opportunity to talk with a Soar Strategies team member six times throughout the year as they develop racial equity assessments, action plans, and more inclusive environments for their staff and partners. Organizations in each cohort will also meet twice over the 10-month grant period to share organizational case studies and get support/advice from the Soar Strategies team. Any CMF grantee organization that has participated in any of the trainings/peer learning circles in 2021 or 2022 is eligible to apply for this coaching opportunity. Applications for the fall cohort of Race Equity Coaching will be available in November.
