This innovative training series is a three-part hybrid training (Planning 101 and Planning 102 are virtual, and Planning 103 is in-person).

102 will cover the historical evolution of planning in the context of systemic racism and efforts for equity. The interactive course will allow participants to gain perspectives from across the planning field. This training is ideal for people who are not currently practicing planners (staff members of CDCs, nonprofits, and those whose professions intersect with planning, such as community organizers and engagement professionals).
