Evolution of SJTI

Over the past 25 years, the Social Justice Training Institute (SJTI) has evolved in several ways. One significant shift has been the expansion of faculty, with an intentional focus on including a more diverse range of racial identities. The curriculum has remained consistent in its emphasis on self-work, healing, and examining race through a social justice lens. However, adjustments have been made to the schedule and activities to better meet the needs of participants. SJTI has also extended its reach beyond higher education, welcoming individuals from K-12, nonprofit, and consulting backgrounds. Through these changes, the core values of healing, liberation, and justice have remained central to the Institute's mission.
