Healing-centered leadership has the power to transform whole communities — and Moonshot alumni are leading the way.

With support from a Direct to Fellows Learning Fund micro-grant, Magnolia Landa Posas (Cohort 7) launched the Melanated Education Collective’s fellowship sessions which featured rituals, wellness practices, and storytelling circles where BIPOC educators can return again and again to rebuild trust, restore their energy, and strengthen their sense of community.

When you give on Colorado Gives Day, you help leaders like Magnolia nurture wellbeing and connection for educators and youth across Colorado.

Help fuel our Direct to Fellows Learning fund and empowering leaders like Magnolia to continue bringing this healing-centered work to their communities.

When Moonshot alumni organizations unite, their collective impact becomes unstoppable 💪🏼

With help from a Direct to Fellows Learning Fund micro-grant, Convivir Colorado and Asian Girls Ignite joined forces to create cross-cultural spaces where young people could share stories, feel seen, and experience solidarity across identities.
