A Deep-Dive Course Hosted by Invest for Better

THE RACIAL WEALTH GAP

Past, Present & Potential for Change

Welcome!

Welcome to the Impact Collective (CLTV) Racial Wealth Gap Course, created for the Invest for Better community! This online handbook offers information about CLTV, course goals and approach, the goals for each individual session, and your assignments between sessions. It will be updated as the workshop progresses.

This course is a pilot and therefore a tool for learning about and improving the workshop itself, activities in which you play an essential role. We look forward to your co-creation and feedback, as well as your patience. You can expect these plans to change as we learn and improve with your help.
