Change Network | Minnesota

We believe in an inclusive and equitable Minnesota. Let's build the courage to get there.

The Cultural Wellness Center and the Public and Nonprofit Leadership Center at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs, in partnership with the Bush Foundation, present a leadership program that will challenge and inspire you to grow and make change for a more equitable and inclusive Minnesota. This program is designed for anyone in communities, organizations, and systems that are positioned to be change makers.

We want you to join us if:

you have been fighting for change but have come up against obstacles,
you are connected to an organization and ready to help make change happen,
you want to be in the company of others who aspire to address issues on equity and inclusion,
you desire mentorship and coaching to step up your leadership,
you seek inspiration and courage, and need a boost to your leadership journey.

Dear future Cohort 2 members, our current Cohort 1 has some advice for you.

Want to hear directly from the experiences of our first cohort? Four of our Cohort 1 members have some advice and reflections for you in this video.

What will this program look like for me?

In this leadership program, you will dive deep into yourself and your culture, and explore what it means in relation to your leadership journey. You will learn how to leverage that inner strength to make positive change. Your time in the program will be supported by cultural elders, your organizational champions, and a strong team of trainers. You will put what you learn to use immediately in a plan to implement these changes in your organization, supported by a $5,000 grant.
