OAC Pathways

OACP (formerly known as Pathways to Equity) meets weekly for two hours over 10 weeks in an interactive cohort experience. Sessions are led by OAC staff and invited guest facilitators who are leaders in the field of community engaged practice.

The curriculum reflects OAC’s vision to cultivate new models of design practice that prioritizes community engagement, racial justice, healing justice, and land and climate justice. Our goal is to create transformative learning experiences, shifting the field towards belonging. 

OAC Pathways is an interactive program designed to introduce you to:

• strategies for community building and engagement

• the history of built environment practices and policies

• self-reflection practices for relationship building and embodied design

• tools for navigating conflict in firms and organizations
