- Learn key allyship concepts through videos and a presentation
- Complete personal reflections to understand your power to make a difference
- Explore real-life stories of people with a wide range of backgrounds
- Engage in small group discussions and brainstorm the best ways to take action
What you’ll take away from the program
- An increased awareness of what allyship looks like and how it creates more supportive workplaces
- Insight into your your unique ability to create change
- More than 50 specific, research-backed actions to try
- A peer working group to help keep you accountable
