Our School Speakers Program helps showcase the importance of telling our story and the importance of seeing the world from someone else's perspective.

Our program equips BIPOC professionals with the skills and knowledge needed for effective nonprofit board leadership while creating a pipeline of board-ready candidates trained in governance. We also partner with local nonprofits seeking to diversify their boards by supporting training around recruitment, and board placement matching.

Diversity Coalition's work has focused on creating building blocks to get closer to an equitable community, but in the meantime we recognize the current barriers that our community faces, due to inequitable systems and policies.

While we prioritize educational initiatives, we recognize the urgency of tackling pressing equity challenges immediately.

Building on our School Speaker program, we connect the community with our outstanding speakers and panelists through public presentations throughout SLO County.

SLO Equity is a podcast that dives into the origins of systemic racism, and unconscious bias in San Luis Obispo County. It tells the stories of the minorities affected by it as well as the stories of those people working to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in this predominantly white community.

Women of color experience unique perspectives at the intersection of race and gender. This dual identity often results in distinct social, economic, and cultural outcomes that are not fully addressed by movements focusing solely on either race or gender. By fostering connections and celebrating their achievements, we can promote inclusivity, amplify their voices, and work towards a more equitable society for all.
