ESJE members offer a range of interactive workshops, webinars, and private consultations to support educators, nonprofits, schools, and workplaces in cultivating inclusive, critically engaged communities.
 
Our expert-led, research-informed sessions are rooted in inclusive anti-oppression frameworks, and
are designed to be practical, interactive, and empowering. Participants leave with strategies they can implement immediately to continue building empathetic, informed, and inclusive workplaces, schools, and communities.
