The Brown Boi Project leadership retreats work to build leadership, economic self sufficiency, and health of young (35 and under) masculine of center* womyn, trans men, and straight/queer men of color-pipelining them into the social justice movement.

*Masculine of center (MOC) is a term coined that recognizes the breadth and depth of identity for lesbian/queer/ womyn who tilt toward the masculine side of the gender scale and includes a wide range of identities such as butch, stud, aggressive/AG, dom, etc. ©B. Cole 2008

During the 5-day training retreat you will have the opportunity to work across issues and communities, talk about race, class, culture, gender and sexuality, and explore whether the social justice sector might be the right place to help their community. Our retreats bring participants from across the country to experience an intensive introduction to community organizing while doing important personal leadership development.

We’re looking for people who are interested in deepening their path or career to include building power for communities of color. You will receive training in understanding power, communications, cross culture coalition building, personal finance, community organizing, conflict resolution, fundraising, relationship building, gender justice, and personal life planning. The program is open to participants from around the country and if you are selected your travel, lodging, and food will be covered to attend the retreat in Oakland, CA from August 18th-22nd.
