Trust is culturally and contextually rooted.

The Center for Trust and Transformation is dedicated to advancing trust as a foundational building block for social and racial justice. We facilitate dialogue, support growth, and conduct research in service of a trust movement grounded in racial equity and liberation.

Our goal is to better understand trust in context and explore paths to (re)building our relationships with one another that are grounded in identities, histories, and solidarities. We work with partners to better understand trust in context and explore paths to rebuilding our relationships with one another and the institutions we have created. We also engage in projects that center marginalized voices as the foundation for dialogue, healing, and the implementation of restorative, trust-based policies. We cultivate leadership, perspectives, and behaviors in order to shift from trust as a one dimensional construct to one that is fluid, complex, and grounded in our unique perspectives.

Transformation requires a new era of trust with racial equity at the center to nurture justice, collaboration, healing, and joy.
