SUSTAIN Emerging Leaders: Weaving Cultural Equity through Community-Based Research

SUSTAIN Emerging Leaders will study, document, analyze, and mobilize impacts of a pilot fellowship program for racialized and gender diverse young creatives, created by community partner the Foundation for Leadership, Imagination and Place (FLIP). The OCAD University-based intern will investigate the SUSTAIN fellowship coaching program, to explore how comprehensive durational support, focusing on basic income, intensive coaching, and wellness and belonging, may impact change in organizational leadership structures, and inform practices for potential sector-wide implementation.
