Leading Social Justice Fellowship


Developed by the United Way of Greater Toronto, the University of Toronto School of Cities and the Rotman School of Management

Now is a rare and unique opportunity to remake our economies, communities, and systems to be more just, inclusive and equitable. Doing so requires leaders in all sectors to act collectively, challenging what we’ve come to accept as normal. Rebuilding requires organizations and communities to equip change-makers with the long-term resources, capacity and agency necessary to initiate and sustain deep change. The LSJF is a cross-sectoral leadership development program for individuals engaged in social justice transformation in the GTA, co-hosted by United Way of Greater Toronto, the University of Toronto’s School of Cities, and Rotman Executive Programs. If you’re passionate about social justice, please form a team and join us in 2022.


Because of the Leading Social Justice Fellowship I am a more confident community advocate, and feel fortunate that I can now draw on an expansive network of like-minded professionals for support.
