ELL OVERVIEW
The Equity Learning Lab (ELL) is a project to build the capacity of health equity organizations to advance racial+ equity in their work. Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the ELL provided customized support to enable organizations to make progress on racial+ equity in their organizations within a cohort. The organizations received coaching and consulting services, an extensive curriculum of resources and tools, and a structure that promoted peer learning across multiple organizations of varying sizes and types.

Leadership Team (“The Hub”)
Two organizations co-designed and led the ELL: Learning For Action (LFA), which works with social sector organizations to strengthen their learning cultures and practices in service of equity and justice; and Public Equity Group (PEG), which helps organizations develop and implement high-impact strategies, management approaches, and programs and campaigns that drive social change.
