We were thrilled to partner with W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Eternal Knot Evaluation to produce the three-volume Spotlight Series: Organizational Journeys in Centering Racial Equity. Take a peek at The Corps Network’s approach and be as inspired as we are by its dedication to fostering inclusive environments and addressing systemic inequities to better serve its 150 member corps and the 20,000 young people and veterans improve their communities through Corps programs each year. https://lnkd.in/gBR5_kP4
The legacy of FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps lives on through The Corps Network (TCN), providing environmental justice and economic mobility for 25,000 young adults and veterans each year. TCN's commitment to racial equity began at the grassroots level, leading to the launch of the Moving Forward Initiative in 2017. Key benefits of this initiative include: - A deeper understanding of structural racism and unconscious bias - Rethinking post-service opportunities for Corpsmembers - Formal investments in racial equity programming - Creation of advisory councils to prioritize Corpsmembers’ experiences Navigating a network of 139 organizations, TCN's approach demonstrates how complex networks can engage in meaningful racial equity conversations.
