Hello! We welcome you from the Create The Space community to the Surge Institute! You’re here because we share something meaningful in common – the goal of uplifting and empowering our communities of color. Our Oakland program serves African-American, Latinx, and Asian Pacific Islander leaders and communities.
We are proud to partner with Create The Space to elevate, connect, and build dialogues for people of color. By supporting powerful stories like those shared in 2ME4U: Stories of Self-Exploration from the Heart, we all benefit from collective growth and empowerment.
Thank you for continuing the connection and we look forward to Surging forward together.
Sincerely,
Rodney Thomas
VP of National Programs, Surge Institute
