Reform Projects
The cornerstone of our Working Group Program is a capstone project in which leaders draw on their training, experience, interest, and organizational role to practice bringing love, mercy, and justice into their workplaces. Below are examples of on-going reform projects developed in and through past cohorts. Due to the sensitive nature of such projects, and to protect anonymity, some minor details have been changed.
