Are you working to create a more equitable and inclusive workplace? If you are a cultural organization, hosting an Urban Arts Leadership Fellow can help you on your journey. Urban Arts Leadership (UAL), the flagship program of the GBCA’s equity and inclusion efforts, is celebrating 10 years of service and accomplishments. The initiative is a workforce development fellowship awarded to high-achieving, emerging leaders of color, and it champions policies and practices of cultural equity that empower a just, inclusive, and equitable nation.
Working to address systemic barriers to equity, the program also focuses on tools and training for participating host cultural organizations aimed at strengthening their ability to successfully recruit, hire, and retain a more diverse workforce. Interested in learning more? You can contact GBCA’s Equity Manager, Renz Balagtaz at [email protected] for more information and details on how this program can enrich your organization.
