Sojourner Truth School Announces Fall Lineup Of Classes

The catalogue for the Fall 2023 session of classes at the Sojourner Truth School for Social Change Leadership is hot off the press and being distributed throughout the community and also online at www.truthschool.org.  As always, all classes are FREE. All classes are on Zoom. All classes are taught by BIPOC people or biracial pairs. This semester we are excited to offer a slightly different model for our classes.  We will have 5 classes that are multi-session and go deeper into the topic and 10 classes that are our typical one-session classes. This is new for us and we look forward to hearing your feedback.  We are excited to provide another rich semester of thought provoking and life-changing classes taught by a fantastic, inspiring and brilliant group of trainers.

“It has been my mission since attending truth school workshops to help guide the Town of Amherst in being a welcoming, inclusive, accessible, and equitable form of local government.  The Truth School inspired me to move forward in what is now my life’s work.  I would like others to experience the awesomeness of the truth school as well.” – Jennifer Moyston
