Each training session is an important component of RJTP and provides a foundation for subsequent learning. We want and expect people to fully participate in each session yet also recognize life happens and allow up to one missed session to recognize personal circumstances.

The application takes approximately one hour to complete. The application form consists of responding to short essay questions in order to give the program’s facilitators more information about the cohort's experiences with racial and social justice work. There is no ideal or required length for your answers so the focus can be on quality (vs. quantity). Information submitted will be treated with the utmost care and confidentiality.
