Systems Leadership Sandbox

The Systems Sandbox is an opportunity to build your capacity to more effectively and meaningfully lead, enact, and mobilize systems-level change. Join us as we inspire curiosity, stretch the imagination and experiment in possibility.

Participants come away with a stronger foundation and new tools in applying systems thinking approaches in their own practice, as well as deepened relationships with others wrestling with time sensitive, systemic injustices impacting our communities.

After participating in the Sandbox, participants will have:

• Expanded knowledge and confidence in applying systems thinking tools and approaches,
• A clearer sense of their role and responsibility as a leader in systems change, and
