The Flourish Collective builds allies by learning, giving and living out racial justice in community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Building and Engagement: Through programs such as weekly Meet-ups and annual Gatherings, we offer ways for community members to encourage and learn from one another about our responsibility to create and cultivate an educated and empowered community and how to discuss events through the framework of equity and justice. Through programs which support and encourage volunteer time with racial justice and community organizations we encourage our members to live out the work of racial justice.
