Racial Equity

Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity

The Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity supports accomplished leaders from diverse backgrounds to uncover and address the root causes of racial inequality and engage in strategic, long-term collaborative efforts for transformative social change. Through leadership development, community building, design labs and narrative change, we support the personal development and capacity of these leaders, and catalyse broader social change activity, based on a view that both are required to achieve racial equity.

A flourishing ecosystem

Atlantic Fellows are part of a wider ecosystem that encompasses the organizations they lead and the communities they serve. Together, they create a collective groundswell of action that changes narratives and redefines what is possible. The Fellowship community works in partnership with a broader group of stakeholders. The strength of these ecosystems comes from the intersection of thought leadership, creativity and passion; and hands-on work that translates intent into action and lasting change.
