IGNITE THE SOUTH brings together emerging leaders from Southern social justice organizations to learn, reflect, and conspire together. It combined in-person retreats, individual coaching, and online learning for cross-movement, multi-racial cohorts. Alumni are now growing a connected, supported, and resourced cadre of leaders across the South.
