Transformative Partnerships for Black Thriving!
Welcome to the Institute for AfroUrbanism's (IAU) AfroUrbanist Accomplice Program—a revolutionary initiative designed to guide organizations along a continuum of understanding and activation. Our program goes beyond awareness, aiming to cultivate a culture of Black Thriving within the organizations and the communities they serve. We believe in the transformative power of moving from Awareness to Accomplice, as depicted along the continuum below:

The Problem
Our world is off balance, and the IAU AfroUrbanist Accomplice Program addresses this disparity. By guiding organizations through a strategic continuum, we empower them to shift practices, policies, and people to create impactful change.

The proprietary curriculum, developed based on IAU's profound learnings, is designed to create a fundamental shift within these organizations. It goes beyond theory, offering practical tools for cultivating a culture of Black Thriving.

The Policy
As organizations progress through the program, they evolve into AfroUrban advocates. Our goal is to influence policies that not only benefit their internal practices but also contribute to the broader AfroUrban narrative, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
