True Leaders in Equity Institute

About the Program


From July 11 – July 14, 2022, the True Leaders in Equity Institute will prepare up to 20 teams to be change agents within the Cooperative Extension System as we work to create more welcoming and inclusive environments. This training and leadership opportunity challenges participants to work together to ideate and champion equity-related projects that will grow 4‑H in their communities. 4‑H believes in youth and adults working together to leverage the strengths that each group brings to their communities and world. At the Institute, teams will:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of key principles and concepts related to equity and inclusion.

  • Identify a particular equity indicator and/or issue to focus on for the next year.

  • Develop their skills and competencies in equity leadership and make connections to people, organizations and tools that can be helpful for their projects.

  • Create an overall framework for their project for the next year and a specific 90-day action plan to implement when they return home.


This program is supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Well Connected Communities

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' leadership. Learn more
