PROGRAM UPDATES ALAMANCE COUNTY RACIAL EQUITY COLLABORATIVE

In 2022 we held the second cohort of the ACRE Co-Lab, a seven-month program that brings together nonprofit, government, community and faith leaders to explore issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in our community.

“The ACRE experience has been a great stepping-off point for me personally to learn and discuss racism. Through this opportunity I have been taught 1) racism is present today in many different forms, 2) we all have bias, 3) history has been whitewashed and 4) change is necessary. This is not easy work and there is no one-step, easy solution.”
