New Offerings

NEW OFFERINGS

 

At CompassPoint, we are constantly designing and experimenting with creative, innovative ways to shift power and culture towards equity and justice by trying things on with each other and with our community. Fifty years into being a leadership development organization and we are still learning, modeling, and dreaming up more liberatory approaches to nurturing and practicing leadership.
 
We believe that leadership development must adapt and be responsive to the changing needs and conditions of the social change sector and the progressive movements we support. We uphold the importance of moving people in emergent leadership (particularly Black, Indigenous, and people of color) from the margins to the center. We affirm that holding peer learning + practice spaces for relationship building, sustainable work cultures, and healing justice are key tenets to transforming ourselves, our sector, and the world we live in. 
 
All of the above brings us to this: We are excited to share with you the latest slate of offerings we have created with our community in mind, and look forward to continuing our journey to get closer to liberation, together.
 

Unless otherwise noted, all offerings are held online via Zoom in Pacific time.

Planning for staffing changes in an organization is important, and when it comes to your organization's finance team, it is especially critical to prepare. Whether it's a matter of seeking a replacement for a departing finance staff member, or needing to grow your finance team to meet capacity, creating a values-aligned, thoughtful process can ensure your succession planning is a success. We invite you to join us for a virtual panel discussion that explores this topic with an eye towards racial equity and social justice. Panelists will share their own experiences and insights, and there will be space for folks to ask questions.

Convening in racial affinity groups is a powerful way to transform relationships and support people in reaching political consciousness and alignment. For diasporic Asian people working in the social change nonprofit sector, participating in an Asian affinity group with one's peers can further encourage us to liberate our own voices, challenge stereotypes of what Asian people are expected to be, and disrupt both anti-Blackness and internalized racism within ourselves and our organizations.

Whether you are an Asian person working at a nonprofit who is simply curious about participating in a racial affinity group or someone who already has experience in practicing racial affinity or caucus work, we invite you to join us in an intimate virtual gathering where we explore the value of racial affinity work as diasporic Asians in social change nonprofits, and connect our learnings to a politic of solidarity between each other and with our Black colleagues and comrades.

We spend a huge portion of our lives in the workplace. We all deserve to work in environments that feel safe, empowering, and enable us to succeed. In this learning series, participants will be provided with a supportive learning space and tools to critically reflect, ideate, and practice strategies and skills for shifting power and centering relationships in their workplaces, using Black feminist, anti-racist, and organizational psychology frameworks to develop their leadership praxis. While we recognize that as individuals, we don’t always have the decision-making power to make these changes in our organizations ourselves, this space focuses on what we can do as individuals to model and influence culture change.
