​Creating a Healthier
​Multicultural Community Project

La Crosse community members after the Deep Dive Session in September, 2019. They engaged in facilitated, small-group community conversations to determine how to eliminate race-based injustice in the greater La Crosse region.
The Creating a Healthier Multicultural Community Project was a response to the desire of many residents of the predominantly white La Crosse region to widen their awareness, understanding, respect and empathy for the lived realities of people with a wide range of racial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds.

of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world;
