Basic Description

The 21-Day Equity Challenge is a free self-guided learning journey hosted by United Way of Olmsted County to help build our community’s awareness of the ways that bias, prejudice, privilege, and oppression show up in our work and lives. Participants can expect to spend 15 minutes each day of the challenge delving into email prompts with readings, videos, and resources that deepen their understanding of equity and justice.
