Are you an educator who leads, loves and nurtures students in Metro Detroit?
We are excited to form our next cohort of educators for the Allies for Radical Collaboration (ARC) Fellowship—a year-long professional learning journey designed for educators serving diverse students in the Metro Detroit area.
ARC is not just another PD; it’s a powerful opportunity to explore your identity, deepen your impact, and build restorative and culturally responsive practices to foster authentic learning communities.
Together with a cohort of passionate, justice-minded educators, you’ll participate in professional learning, community experiences, and apply learnings to your practice through fieldwork and subsequent reflection.
If you are ready to reflect, grow, and act with authenticity and courage:

ARC registration is a phased process that enables interested educators and program leaders alike to ensure there a strong fit. And there are a limited number of spots, so act soon! The 2025-226 Fellowship launches in late September.
