Guides & Workshops

MP Associates is dedicated to building the capacity of individuals, organizations and communities to effectively address structural racism and better understand privilege issues for building a just and inclusive society. It works to identify systemic issues, to increase individuals’ knowledge and skills and to support processes for people to work together across and within racial and ethnic groups. The goal is to provide support, skills and resources to help individuals, groups or communities sustain their work and share their lessons learned and skills with others in a collective effort to achieve racial equity.

MP Associates facilitates dialogues and workshops, offers coaching, conducts webinars, provides technical assistance and facilitates white dialogue groups/caucuses. The organization also conducts research and literature searches, identifies best practices, develops tools and training manuals, develops curriculum and train?the?trainer programs, and evaluates and assesses programs.
