Welcome to MP Associates

MP Associates is dedicated to building the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to address racism and better understand privilege issues for building a just and inclusive society. We help our partners identify systemic issues, increase individuals’ knowledge and skills, and support processes for people to work together across and within racial and ethnic groups.

We work in partnership with individuals, communities, and organizations to:

• Develop and plan programs
• Provide consultation and assessment services for community initiatives to promote racial equity
• Build capacity and provide technical assistance
• Design and facilitate meetings and training workshops
• Conduct research, literature searches, and identify best practices
• Develop tools and training manuals
• Develop curriculum and train-the-trainer programs
• Evaluate and assess programs

 

“Any attempt to change a situation either politically or otherwise should be based on the transformation of our own consciousness ... You have to understand yourself to some extent, and to the people in the communities, to their deepest desires, their suffering. That kind of deep looking will bring about more understanding of self and of the community ... You learn to look not with individual eyes, but with the community eyes. Because the collective insight is always deeper than individual insight.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh, Renowned Vietnamese Buddhist monk
