Confluence Rising (formerly the California Conference for Equality and Justice or CCEJ) is a nonprofit with the mission to educate and empower youth and adults to lead change for equity and justice in our communities. At Confluence Rising, we lead people of all backgrounds in deep examinations of power and privilege at the personal and societal levels, inspiring them to build community across differences and work together to advance equity, inclusion and justice. We create brave spaces for participants to discuss vulnerable topics such as the harmful impacts of racism and discrimination, and to create plans for action and change. Our programs incorporate Restorative Justice practices to support youth and adults to increase their resiliency and ability to address identity-based conflict. We believe that everyone has a role to play in transforming our schools, workplaces and communities to be more just and equitable. Contact us for training and volunteer opportunities for youth aged 14-18 and adults!
