Choose your reciprocity

Same Academy. Different capacities to contribute.

Every Community Practice contribution level receives the same core Academy experience. Contribution reflects financial capacity, not access, importance, or human value.

“I'm upgrading my subscription because I recently completed your Intersectionality of Liberation mini-course and I want to support your work on an ongoing basis”

Need continuing education credit?

Continuing education requirements vary by profession, credential, jurisdiction, and course. We only identify an experience as qualifying for CE once the applicable requirements and approvals have been verified.

Neither Professional Learning nor membership guarantees CE credit. A certificate of completion is not continuing education credit.
