Social Justice Leadership Retreat

Social Justice Leadership Retreat 2024

The Social Justice Leadership Retreat (SJLR) helps students explore their personal stories and experiences in relation to their peers and in the contexts of systems of power and oppression. SJLR is held annually on campus.

By participating in the Social Justice Leadership Retreat, students:

• Identify their own multiple intersecting identities, experiences and biases, and how they map on to concepts of privilege, dominance, and oppression.
• Explain how their identities and experiences influence their understanding of leadership.
• Demonstrate an understanding of their role in interrupting bias and prejudice in themselves and their community, and their role in developing strategies to build positive communities.

Social Justice Leadership Retreat 2024

SJLR 2024 will be held November 8th-10th at Pyle Event Center in Madison, WI.

This year UW-Madison’s Social Justice Leadership Retreat will engage approximately 40 undergraduate students and 10 facilitators for 3 days of meaningful activities and story sharing. SJLR is an immersive and cohort based experience focused on educating students about the impact of identity, the dynamics of power and privilege, and strategies to create change. Priority registration is October 2nd 2024 with applications taken on a rolling basis until October 23rd.
