Course Details

The dominant narratives about rural America frequently neglect the experiences of people of color. When rural housing and economic challenges are discussed the communities and leaders portrayed tend to lack diversity. While rural America is proportionately less diverse than the country as a whole, these communities are still home to many people of color.

This 90-minute webinar training course will examine best practices in building rural leaders of color in housing and community development spaces. We will explore current trends that make intentional investment in rural leaders of color critical. As the national conversation on structural racial inequity continues to unfold, community development organizations and their partners must play a key role in championing racial equity in leadership. Given the aging and retirement trends in community development, there’s an urgent need for clear advancement paths for leaders of color in rural revitalization efforts. Join us as we share in-real-life examples, information and tools to ensure rural Black, Indigenous and people of color have opportunities and skills needed to provide leadership and thrive in community development.
