Organizations that serve our most vulnerable communities face, themselves, increasing workloads and escalating stress. The need has never been greater to support social justice and social service organizations with tools for creating cohesiveness, engagement, and sustainability.
​
Center for Council's Organizational Wellness Project (formerly called the Social Justice Council Project) is designed to strengthen and support those working on the front lines of social justice and community engagement by providing Council training to organization staff members to more effectively engage with their constituents, while also fostering more cooperative and supportive work environments.

The Project offers participating organizations:

• A series of community-building experiences
• Immersive Council training for a select internal team
• Individualized mentoring
• Ongoing, hands-on support with integrating the practice of Council into their organizational culture and operations

The Organizational Wellness Project is made possible through the generous support of The Angell Foundation.
