Examining Race, Improving Relations & Getting to Collective Impact

As we assess the fabric of our society, we can see it unraveling with continuing conflicts, rising concerns, unsustainable practices, and inequity in a multitude of arenas—all of which clearly evidence the need for radical change. Although we are aware of the need for social change, the questions of what to do, how to do it, and who should undertake this work remain. iLevelUp Consulting is dedicated to social justice and equality and committed to developing viable solutions for these crucial issues.

Our programs are designed to assist policy makers, thought leaders, advocates, activists, educators and learners to address critical issues of racial injustice and inequality, create change management plans and develop tangible tools and resources for implementation throughout our respective communities.
