City Year San Antonio would like to thank City Education Partners for sharing the cost for our staff to participate in Racial Equity Institute’s two-day Phase 1 training. This workshop presents a historical, cultural, and structural analysis of racism and is designed to develop the capacity of participants to better understand racism in its institutional structural forms. We could not be more grateful for CEP’s generosity as we continue to advance in our commitment to this work.
