LDIR

The Community-Based Program is a 6-month intensive that provides hands-on, interactive leadership training and experiences. Three primary training goals outline the philosophy of the LDIR program since its inception in 1991: provide awareness of the root causes of structural inequalities, provide leadership skills needed in coalition to address these inequities, and provide the action steps necessary to foster positive intergroup relations. Currently, the Community-Based Program is being held yearly in Flint, Michigan.

LDIRs in Health

LDIRs in Health is a 6-month leadership development and training program that combines an intensive workshop series with hands-on, interactive health leadership experiences. LDIRs in Health seeks to challenge and support individuals to broaden their ideas about community health and leadership while building deeper solidarities across sectors and communities. While working broadly to improve community health, individuals practice self-reflective leadership in the context of wider social and economic justice principles. Participants work as a diverse cohort and in collaborative teams in order to develop progressive community health projects for social change.  LDIRs in Health is currently held bi-annually in Los Angeles.

Facilitation for Social Change

The Facilitation for Social Change program offers a 2-month, 8-session, condensed awareness and skills-building training series. Bringing together a diverse cross-section of the health community in Los Angeles, the training guides individuals in analyzing and understanding the root causes of health disparities, and enhancing skills in self-reflective leadership, coalition building, facilitation and advocacy.
