UPCOMING PROGRAMS

We organize, educate, and activate people to leverage all their resources to realize economic justice.
Our online and in-person workshops for white people with more financial resources than they need to thrive are unique, transformational, and empower values-aligned action. They explore why complex economic issues persist and meaningful actions we can take immediately.
We also invite leaders to participate in cross-racial and community-building convenings, conversations, and events focused on issues related to racial and economic justice.
Collective Conversations
Join us on the 1st Friday of every month!
From 12–1 PM ET on the first Friday of every month we gather over Zoom to learn, take action, and build community. This community forum series engages experts from the Impact Collective community to share wisdom and spark conversation about topics related to closing the racial wealth gap. 

A RANGE OF WORKSHOPS

"I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. And I am not free as long as one person of Color remains chained. Nor is anyone of you." —Audre Lorde
Our workshops are where we move from awareness to action. 
Impact Collective workshops are spaces where individuals and couples come together to learn about economic justice and the racial wealth gap, clarify their values, and create concrete action plans. Most workshops are designed specifically for white people with more financial resources than they need to thrive—however some are open to all.

Transformative Retreat 

Privilege & Purpose: A Transformative Retreat for Women is the cornerstone of a series that will guide participants from awareness to action, empowering the alignment of resources and values. Within a community of white women dedicated to learning together, participants explore the complexities of race and money—and how to drive action. Through a range of modalities, including historical and contextual learnings, group dialogue and personal reflection, participants gain tools to make a tangible impact and promote equity.
This 3-day in-person retreat launches spring 2026, with virtual follow-up support and a capstone in-person session in the new year. We are accepting expressions of interest. 

Introductory Workshop for Men

Money & Values in Action: An Introductory Workshop for Men will guide you from awareness to action, empowering you to align your financial resources more with your social justice minded values. Within a community of other white men, you'll explore the implications of race and money in your life and plan new financial actions. Through videos, readings, group discussions, 1-1 coaching, and personal reflection you’ll gain tools to make a tangible impact and promote racial and economic equity.
The workshops will be online, and consist of three 2-hour sessions. We are accepting expressions of interest. 

The Intensive Workshop 

The Intensive Workshop—our flagship program—is a 9-session course that brings together small cohorts of 6-12 white women with class privilege. The workshop culminates with participants drafting and adopting individual, cohort, and family action commitments and strives to foster an alumni community that endures after the workshop’s completion. The Intensive Workshop currently serves three to four annual cohorts of Boston-area participants.

Couples Workshop

Money Talks: Aligning Finances & Values in Relationship offers a unique opportunity for couples to explore some of the challenges and opportunities of aligning their money with their values. We will explore our relationship dynamics through lenses of race and gender, and consider some of the implications for our partnerships, our money, and our impact on the world. We are accepting expressions of interest. 

Guest Workshops

The Impact Collective curates guest-facilitated workshops that target the interests of Intensive Workshop alumni and others in the CLTV community. These range from one to three sessions.
Past workshops include:
  • Place-Based Investing to Close the Wealth Divide with Deborah Frieze
  • Surviving a Bear Attack: Strategies for Difficult Conversations About Race with Ken Rogers
  • Finding Ourselves: The Lineage of White Women & Racial Justice with Liz Aeschlimann
  • Money Talks: Aligning Finances & Values in Relationship with Ethan Kerr and Julia Johannsen

The Mini Workshop

The Mini Workshop is an introductory 3-session course that brings together larger cohorts of all identities and geographies. The Mini Workshop works well to augment the programming that partner organizations offer their communities.
