Montclair Community Learning Circles on Race Selection Form Spring 2022

Learning Circle on Race Sign-up

Spring 2022: April 24 - June 13
Sign-up to join a group of 6-10 other community members in a small Learning Circle on Race. Each Learning Circle is guided by two Facilitators who have gone through a custom training for this program. The Facilitators aren't necessarily experts, academics, or have special prior knowledge about race and equity. They are community members who, like you, are willing to lend their time, energy, and action to seed real change that comes from personal learning, reflection, and conversation.

Schedule: Learning Circles will meet 5 times between April 15th and June 13th (with most starting after April 23rd). Each meeting is 2 hours long. There will be a community-wide event the week of June 13th (more details to come). Learning Circles will use Zoom or a similar platform to meet.

After the sign-up window is closed, your Faciliators will contact you and the rest of your Learning Circle to arrange the meeting schedule and exchange contact info. If you are not able to work with your Learning Circle's schedule, we will do our best to find you a new Circle if there are still spots available.

Please contact us at dory@mfee.org with any questions.
