The LeadersTrust

Whole Communities Project is proud to announce our magazine “HOME is where the LOVE is”. Launched in the Fall of 2023, the Whole Communities Project is a collaboration between the The Center For Third World Organizing, The Fund for Liberatory Practice launched by The LeadersTrust, and the Leadership Learning Community. Our mission is to connect liberation-centered leaders and organizations to life-affirming resources that support their emergence and sustainability in the work. To that end, we curate leadership development programs, funding, convenings, webinars, and communities of practice for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color leaders and practitioners.

“HOME is where the Love is” magazine is for people firmly entrenched in their quest for liberation and adamant about bringing their formations and communities along. In it, you will find in-depth stories from leaders within the Whole Communities Project ecosystem and their offerings on how to deepen your commitment to liberatory leadership. We also provide tools and resources to support you on your path.
