The Problem
The current system often concentrates power and limits the voices
of many Black community stakeholders.
Our program aims to change this by fostering a more collaborative approach to Black community-based talent development and leadership.
We believe that by connecting individuals with similar talent and drive,
we are creating a more robust and shared talent pool that can scale community-based advocacy and municipality-based services.
This program serves as a direct pipeline to build more diversity, equity, and inclusiveness on planning boards, civic committees, and other decision-making bodies in the city.
By supporting the growth and development of Black leaders in the community,
we are creating a more inclusive and equitable environment for all.
Join us and let’s work together to create a better future for the City of Pittsfield.
