Leaders in Education, Advocacy, & Dialogues (LEAD)

Mission

Leaders in Education, Advocacy & Dialogues (LEAD) is a dynamic peer education and leadership development program; through facilitation of open dialogue, LEADers seek to educate themselves and others about diversity and intersections of identity in order to build common ground across the Georgetown University community.

About

LEADers are peer facilitators and consultants in diversity and social justice education. They work with students on campus to promote open interaction and dialogue among people with diverse social identities, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, religion and and ability. LEAD works with peers to explore issues of inclusion, belonging, and social justice within student groups and organizations and groups — seeking to help foster common understandings across Georgetown’s diverse community. LEADers plan and facilitate dynamic and interactive dialogues and workshops, and generally strive to serve the community’s diversity education needs.
