LaunchPad
Launchpad provides coaching, tools and resources to leaders who sense a calling (however tentative or unformed) to launch something new into the world – whether that something is a church, an organization, a podcast or “yet to be determined.” But whatever it is, something that is loudly and clearly inclusive, antiracist, love and justice, and joy-generating.
Launchpad is honored to share the journey of launching inclusive projects and communities with incredible leaders around the country. When we partner together, we all learn what it looks like to launch more inclusive communities of love and justice.
Legal Aid End to Prision Slavary
