The training course is led by members of the Anti-Racism Training Team. Each week leading up to the Friday Zoom session, you will complete online self-study lessons that take roughly two hours per day to complete at times you choose that fit your schedule. The material consists of recorded lectures, videos, and articles that provide you with a historical overview of systemic racism in America to help you understand its impact on society and on individual lives. Participants must attend all sessions and complete all the self-study content to earn a Certificate of Completion.

The Anti-Racism Commission is a group of dedicated anti-racists who are working in partnership with the Diocese of New Jersey to help dismantle systemic racism, inequality, and injustice in our church and in our society. In addition to the 20-hour Anti-Racism Training, ARC also makes presentations at convocation meetings, Vestry retreats, and other group meetings, and holds conferences and other events to build a knowledgeable and empowered group of anti-racists.
