Tucson Learning Lab: Racial Equity and Decolonizing SVP
In an effort to move SVP toward greater racial justice in our work, SVP International is teaming up with Race Forward and SVP Tucson this fall, bringing the network a two-day, deep-dive training, “Tucson Learning Lab: Racial Equity and Decolonizing SVP.”
If you’re ready to critically examine what SVP does and how we do it, applying a racial equity lens leading to recommendations for change in ourselves, our affiliates, and our SVP model, this Learning Lab is for you!

Montgomery Learning Tour
SVP International and SVP Los Angeles are teaming up to host a trip to Montgomery, AL to visit the National Memorial for Peace & Justice and the Legacy Museum. Established in 2018 by the Equal Justice Initiative, the memorial and museum are dedicated to the legacy of enslavement, terror, violence, and humiliation of Black people in the United States. The exhibits take the visitor through U.S. history of slavery and lynching to present-day mass incarceration and police violence.
This trip is open to anyone who wants to understand U.S. history and present-day inequities and terror. Taking place from July 17-19, attendees will visit the museum and memorial, participate in small-group dialogue and affinity group conversations, and be a part of a small-group dialogue with staff from the Equal Justice Initiative.
