Leadership Institute
A transformative learning community for public health practitioners
HIP’s Health Equity Awakened Leadership Institute is a transformative learning community for governmental public health practitioners to develop individual, institutional, and structural approaches to advance health equity, racial justice, and power-sharing.
The Institute applies a peer learning model, co-facilitated by dynamic staff, mentors, and faculty who are established leaders in public health, leadership development, racial justice, and community organizing.
Fellows convene up to 3 times a year for in-person training and retreats and participate in monthly virtual sessions. Since launching the Leadership Institute in 2014, we’ve graduated 70+ Fellows across 5 cohorts, and supported Fellows from 50 health departments across 20 states. Alumni have influenced practices, policies, and systems to shift how they work internally, across government, and with communities.
Our curriculum focuses on:
- Building relationships and trust among Leadership Institute Fellows, mentors, and staff
- Developing a shared analysis around racial justice, health equity, and power
- Learning how to use a transformative organizing approach to advance health equity
- Sharing experiences and lessons learned across organizations
- Articulating a vision for personal growth and leadership, and exploring and aligning sense of purpose

From our partners
“My experience working with HIP as a 2022 Health Equity Awakened Leadership Fellow and capacity-building partner has been transformative. It is a gift to be in community with leaders transforming public health practice who hold change so strategically and lovingly. Through our capacity building partnership, we cultivated a new way for people in my health department to show up and build relationships and power with front-line community organizers.”
