What is the ACTION Project?

These themes are the focus of this three-year program, with some of the emphases described below.

Year A - HISTORY: 

We ask the question “How did we get here?” through experiential learning facilitated by BIPOC educators.

Year B - CURRENT CLIMATE: 

We explore the current climate, including the disparities in community, and offer trainings in building racial consciousness and community organizing.

Year C - REPAIR AND SOLIDARITY: 

We provide tailored consultation, journeying alongside toward the development of a repair ministry in your local community.

Each year of the ACTION project includes meetings, support, and action steps:

• Annual IDI assessment (an online resource that assesses intercultural competence) and debriefing
• Monthly Community ACTION, a plenary gathering to learn with other participants and a trained ACTION educator
• Monthly Cohort Meetings for you to process learning with others, led by a qualified cohort leader (with additional support and separate affinity space for BIPOC participants)
• Weekly ACTION Newsletter curated content and invitations for participants to listen, explore and connect this work to life in their community - delivered straight to your inbox!
• Supplemental Experiences in the form of site tours, trainings/workshops, experiential learning
• Ongoing Support for leaders of participating groups as they lead, including ideas about connecting faith and justice in their context

A "feast" of resources and opportunities for learning are provided throughout The ACTION Project! While an average monthly time commitment of 4-6 hours can be expected, participants can engage much more.
